My mother once narrated to me that when she delivered me it was the happiest, most memorable day of her whole life. Reckoning back, i found it sick now that I used to ask my ma for a load of stuff, even just to make a simplistic problem or just plain gaining water out of the fridge just because I was too lazy to do so myself. My mother is uneasy everytime because of multi-tasking between her work and tending to us that at some point I promised I would never be a mum, ever. Who would want to be a mother after seeing your own mother take two tough jobs simultaneously and still gets time to attend to us children all the while she losses sleep and rest?
But what is the real heart and soul of being a mother?
What traits do we have to possess to be called a mom? Aside from being the oneswho delivered us to this world, what makes them so unique to merit them their personal special occassion in the calendar called Mother's Day? These are average enquiries that I dont wish to be asked of since I don't know the perfect answer.
Fortuitously, the great heavens above distorted my fortune and reversed the tides and eventually had me cut across to the other side of maternal fear. Here are some of the superb things I've found out during maternity.
I discovered that the idiomatic expression "Its Okay, Mommys here" works like magic; That there is only one pretty face and every mother has it; and that the cliche Mothers Know Best oftentimes mean I told you so or otherwise signify that you have get your mothers approval on everything even on your choice of women.
Most of all, being a mom means being the sole light in the household when there is dark, a source of happiness when there is sadness, where hope comes from when there is hopelessness, the ultimate source of love. Being a mother comes with a plethora of emotions all rolled into one that defies reason.
Because being a mother means giving life but not living it for your children, it means teaching them things but not learning it for them, letting them know whats right from wrong but not deciding it for them, it means giving them freedom but at the same time not be accountable for them.
Despite your children taking the path that you least like in life, a mother should be supporting them every step they take. Because being a mother is to always be there even if it hurts. Once can never cease to be a mother.
So what does it take to become a mother? It takes unbelievable and immeasurable courage. One other thing that makes most mothers special is their ability to take the place of all other people or in other words being in their shoes. And why are they so important to be remembered because they brought you into this world and even gave up theirs so you can be happy.
I already know this because of a very wonderful person in my life, my mother. And now that I am one, the best part of my day is the fact I am important, I am valued, I am needed and I can love my children with unconditional love all my life and I will.
