Mother’s Day

March 13, 2010

“When a child is born, a mother is born! – I like that and I truly believe that not only we raise our children, but also our kids help us learning to be mothers.

I will tell you how my precious little girl makes every day Mother’s day for me.

She makes me smile, even when I am angry

She makes me feel proud of her – even if she hasn’t climbed a mountain

She says “I love you, mummy” and I am trying to hide my tears of joy

She makes a mess every day during mealtimes

She likes to have all my attention, 24/7

Sometimes she is feeling poorly and feeling safety when feeling me around her only

Sometimes she falls down and wants mummy to kiss her and take off her pain

Sometimes she may have a temper tantrum and I need to be there for her

One day she might get in trouble and I will be still there for her – to help, to talk, to listen

One day she will become a young lady and my sleepless nights will come back again – this time not due to baby cry but worrying if she is alright

One day she will have a boyfriend and I will start feeling scared and experiencing the “empty nest” syndrome. I will know she would soon leave home and will have a family on her own. I will feel lonely and also happy for her at the same time…

One day I will be spending my Sunday evening with her little ones, reading them stories and feeling like heaven of being their granny. My daughter will be smiling at us, remembering the times she’s been sitting on my knees and holding my hand.

Always I’ll be giving her all my love, expecting nothing in return. And she will always make my day feel like being Mother’s day!

Whatever she does, I love her! And on Mother’s day I want to thank her for being my little girl and for making me the happiest mum in the world!
