When I was a fetus, I hated my itty bitty living space. I was so confused that I didn't understand whether my home was getting smaller or if was it me who was growing bigger. My eyelids weren't under my control. I couldn't open them but I started to feel everything. My senses were stronger than ever. I could feel something was beating inside me. My fingers were so small yet I held something in my tiny fists. Only eating through that dumb pipe and was completely banned from using my mouth. Well, I didn't have teeth though. And yet, I was never hungry. I was always healthy and had a big tummy filled with pickles and cakes. Kicking was the only game I could play. Such a boring place. But, that voice. That voice of a woman which echoed through my home. Such amazing songs she keeps singing. Such great morals she was teaching. Now, that was my goal. That's what I wanted. To see the face of who owned this angelic voice. I was born ready to be born and be held by this wonderful woman. I was dying to see my mother's face.

And when I came out of my mother's tummy, it was so bright that I couldn't open my eyes. I was super scared because there were these five aliens with white hats and gloves looking at me like a hard-earned trophy. I was so scared that all I could do was cry. I don't even know whom to ask to team up with me for a rescue mission. Put me back in my mother’s tummy, please… They cleaned me up and kept a lollipop with its stick in my nose and ears clearing my holes up. I'm sure they made me feel better but I was still freaking out and they didn't even care. I am pretty sure I burst their eardrums with my bawling. They deserved it though.

Bloody careless and heartless idiots!!!

Something familiar touched my lips and I started drinking it. Wow, they cut my umbilical cord. So, it's time to use my mouth. But that touch, the skin, the warmth, the scent, the voice. They were all so familiar and my brain just stopped working for a moment. Then I realized I was in the arms of the person whom I was dying to see.

My Mother.

I wanted to open my eyes very badly. I started crying again. This time not from the fear of strange brightness but my inability to open my eyes and look at my mother. It felt useless crying so I drank this tasty liquid for a while and got used to the brightness. I started opening my eyes. Everything’s blurred and that’s when I saw her like an angel who just came down from the moon. She was crying and I instantly had an ache and anger in my heart. I was going to kill that person right then and there who brought her pain. Well, I couldn't. I promise Mom, I am going to kill that person when I start walking. I promise.

There came this huge man with happy tears taking me into his arms. He held my small hand with his finger and I held it tight. I didn't know but I wanted to. I felt safe in this man’s arms. He had this same warmness I felt in my mum’s hands. I think he is my father. And mum kissed him right on the lips. Jealous crept through me like a caterpillar. This guy should be taught some limits.

I’m taken to a large building with my mom and dad. It was this huge exquisite house with scented candles, every wall was covered with books, a small garden on the balcony and a breathtaking blue-colored room just for me. Tears welled up in my eyes. I got my own room and it is so big that hundreds of me can fit in it. They kept me in this little cradle. My dad helped my mum to sleep on the bed because she was in terrible pain giving birth to me. I gave her pain and yet she loves me. What kind of great love is this? And my dad, he is the most selfless person ever. I love him as much as I love Mum because he is protecting Mum and he will protect me too. I have that trust. He took care of my mum without sleeping day and night. Well, still no permission to kiss my mum and dad. She is mine now.

Dad took me in his arms and made me sleep in between both of them. It's the warmest and safest place in the world. I wished to see this angel's face but God gave me two angles. What else do I need in this life? Mum and Dad, they are my world and that's enough for me.

Thank you, Mom, for being my uncalled rescuer from those bloody donkey aliens.
