Mothers Love: Being a mother is learning about strengths you didn’t know you had, and dealing with fears you didn’t know existed.
Things your mother never told you:
•You made her cry..a lot:
Every time you hurt, she hurt, when you didn’t fare well in school or got into fights in the playground, she would hurt and cry. But she hid her tears so that you wouldn’t see her tears as a sign of her weakness. She wanted to remain strong for you.
• She wanted that last piece of cake:
She endlessly sacrificed her wants her desires and her needs for you. She wanted that symbolic last piece of cake but gave it to you so that your needs came before hers.
• It hurts:
Being a mother hurts, every cruel remark you, every time you refused to eat the meal she cooked, it hurt her.
• She was always afraid:
She was afraid when you stepped out of the house, till the moment you re-entered the house. As long as you were under her protected sight, you were safe. At any moment she would sacrifice her life to protect you.
• She knows that she is not perfect:
She knows that she has flaws and you didn’t need to remind her. She is working on fixing them. To you, your mother may not be perfect, but she is continuously striving to improve herself.
• She watched you as slept:
Even as you grew older she watched you sleep. The systematic rhythm of your breathing while you slept, gave her confidence that you were safe and secure.
• She carried you a longer than nine months:
She may have carried you only for 9 months in her womb, but she carried you much longer in her heart.
• She put you first:
She has always cherished you and put you first before herself
• She would do it again:
Despite the stress of nourishing you in her womb, the pain of childbirth and the effort of raising you. She would do it again and again. Never doubt that.
