Beautiful Memory: I Met Mother Teresa
Kamala Sarup
I met Mother Teresa. Mother Teresa worked so hard for the cause of humanity. I cannot praise her enough, for a great woman, great mother, her wisdom, commitments and total faith in peace, was very special.
I was a 14 years old when I first met her. It was my honor, It was my happiness to met her. There was many ups and downs, but she was continued on her path. Mother Teresa was making a difference, when I met her. She was a brave woman, when I met her.
I know that she loved all the children and poor women, but it's true that despite her great efforts she could never buy expensive clothes nor could she have enjoyed it.
Therefore, she was a respected mother at the end of her life as well. As far as I know she could never provide unhappiness to us. Thus her death has been very sad.
The cold wind blowing through the window the pages I wrote about Mother Teresa, began to get scattered. I try to collect them hurriedly. I gather together the pages and again try to resume writing the story without any pause. There is only one Mother Teresa.
If I am to say truly, she was beloved because she tried to know the meaning of love. She lived a meaningful life.
I hadn't imagined that Mother Teresa would die soon.
Mother Teresa had a sentimental heart and she appeared like a real mother. When I visited her, she came closer to me and said in an endearing tone, "God gives you happiness."
I was completely happy in imagination which was spilled all over me.
She was in peace and went to the window, "You are always engrossed in love, in life! There is more important than wants, struggles and thought."
I slowly look at her and smiled, "You like to love, forgiveness, companionship. Life is not easy as I think."
Mother Teresa began to speak, " The meaning of life is not to keep yourself in misery. Yes, you can offer many people happiness".
I went on listening to what she said. I have met her because I loved her work. In most sense, to love her and not to be able to share her happiness both are opposite things.
My eyes were filled with tears when I came to know that Mother Teresa died. The news made me sad. Mother Teresa was not a person to leave us so soon. She went away during the first half of her days of enjoying and being happy.
And now she became history from the present. I feel that I have lost a very close relative and so my heart is crying. Mother Teresa was now an example of how a woman can fight all alone in the society struggling against all odds. She was now a wonderful history.
Mother Teresa was a beautiful, wonderful loving woman. I am trying to follow her path.
