This week has been a whirlwind of a week and what hapened today was the icing on my cake...

This little happening today made me feel so upset and annoyed at all the people on the escalator at TJ HUGHES.

I was with my auntie in TJ HUGHES. What I didnt know, was that my auntie had decided to go upstairs without telling me, so first thing people going past me were giving me weird looks, why? because I was there talking to myslef next to the kettle things. I thought I was talking to my auntie, but it looked like I was talking to a kettle, not really my cup of tea usually but I didn't know...

Anyway when I did realise that she had gone off, I rang her and asked where she was, it turned out she had gone upstairs.

So I went on the escalator, but unussually there was a big line. I looked at the front and I saw an old woman struggling to get on the escalators and people walking past her like she was a ghost.

So what I did was walked to the front of the line, with people swearing at me and giving me dirty looks as if I was pushing in front of them. And so I asked the woman at the front if she was okay. She said that she couldn't go on the escalator and I told her that there was no such thing as couldn't, so I put my arm through hers and told her to put her foot forward as I did and to give me her bags. I got her upstairs and there she told me that she was scared of escalators.

Now the people at the back were staring at me as if I were a loony. And I simply said to them, that it would do good for us to help each other out once in a while. Then suddenly all the dirty looks looked down at the floor and all the swearing quitened down.

This didn't upset me it just annoyed me and I saw that even a group of muslim boys were acting too superior to help an old woman, so I can't really say anything to the goray.

What upset me the most was this womans daughters were there pulling her and telling to hurry up and move fast and just going off again without her. when I looked into this womans eyes all I could see was hurt and loneliness and I felt so bad, all I wanted to do was hug her and give her the happiness that she deserved.

So next time you see someone struggling wether it be an old person or a young one, help them out. No only will Allah SWT be happy, but you will feel better about yourself. Because showing kindness to someone once in a while, doesn't cost a penny.

And as for your mother, treat her like a queen. Because she not only gave you birth, but she bathed you, changed your nappies and gave you food when you were little and always wants the best for you as you get older.
Your mother is so precious and paradise is at her feet, so make it your job to touch those beautiful sacred feet of hers evryday. And always lookout for her, wether she's old or young, she is your mother wether she annoys you or shouts at you, she's your mother. One day when shes not there you will wish that she was and you will cry for her and for those of you who don't have the time to see your mother. Take time out for her, because you'll regret it when she is gone. Never let a tear drop from her eyes because of you, her tears are so precious and cost more than any jewel. And the last thing, don't ever stop yourself from saying i love you mum and don't let her forget it either. because there is no such thing as embarrasment in front of you mother.
All My Love,

P.S. I don't know what it's like to be a mother, because what I know is that the day I will truly understand what a mother is, will be the day when I become a mother myself.
