“Mama, you’re home!” my Seven years old child screamed as I
walked through the door from my night shift duty. The sound of laughter and
squeals of joy could be heard all the way down the driveway. Moments like this
are the very reason I keep going forward. It is verification that I am a good
mother.
The word mother is defined as female parent. Mother is also defined
as a female person who is pregnant with or gives birth to a child; a woman who
adopts or raises a child. A woman is made to give birth to a child, but the
manner in which a woman loves that child unconditionally is what determines a
“good” mother from a “bad” mother.
The child’s actions do not determine the amount of love given to
that child. They scream and shout, “I hate you” but a good mother is deaf
to these words. A good mother is always there for their child no matter what
happens in life or what decisions they make. They stand back and allow their
child to make decisions. A mother’s biggest fear is that her child will die
before her, but a good mother allows her child to go into the military or make
life changing decisions even though they don’t always agree. A good mother is
not determined by the physical process of giving birth, but by teaching, loving
and nurturing the child.
A mother is the best friend anyone could ever ask for. When
everyone else turns away, she is the one turning towards you, when you fall,
she’s the one that helps you up and when your heart is filled with despair,
she’s the one that gives you a glimpse of hope. The day a child is born, so is
a mother. The woman was always there but it wasn’t until the second their little
baby was born that a mother was born. A mother and her child have a special
bond that only they can understand. You can fool most of your friends most of
the time, but you can’t fool mom. She sees right through you and always knows
what’s wrong. Once she gives you that special hug everything seems okay and
even though you never want her to let go, the feeling lasts forever.
There’s a point it every kids life when sitting next to mom in
public is the most embarrassing thing possible or kissing mom in front of your
friends is pretty much social suicide, but that doesn’t take away from how much
we truly love them. From the day you first learn to ride your bike and your
first day of school to your high school graduation and the day you get married,
every kid says six words that they don’t mean, “You can let go now mom”. Even
though we say it, deep down we still want them to hold on. It’s all still a
little bit scary and we’re not ready to do it on our own.
Although sometimes it may seem like your mother hates you, and
all she ever does is yell at you, recently I discovered she only does this
because she loves you. Mothers love their kids as much if not more than you
love them and they only want the best for you. She has been through all these
things before and she wants to save you from making the same mistakes. She is
looking out for you because she hates to see you hurt.
One thing a lot of kids forget to do is tell their mothers how
thankful they are for everything they do and how much they love them. On May
13th everyone in the world sets aside one day to do what we should do every
single day, tell our moms that we love them and that that will never change.
Even though sometimes we yell at our moms and say “you’re the worst mom in the
world”, deep down we know it’s quite the opposite. That’s what Mother’s Day is
for, to let your mom know that you never meant the harsh words and that you
never will.
In conclusion, everyone has a best friend and everyone has the
friends that they call their best friend forever, but the only girl in my life
that I’m positive will be my best friend forever is my mom. She has been there
from my first breath to my first broken heart and I know that no matter what I
do she will always be there full of forgiveness and will provide the shoulder I
can cry on. Not only is she my best friend but I am her best friend too. She
was there for my first breath and I will be there for her last, and we will be
together for everything in between, because a mother is the best friend anyone
could ever ask for.
Today is Mother’s Day, A Mother's day greetings to all the
mom's---your mom, our mom's and soon to be mother's... ♡
Thank you Lord that you fill
a Mother's heart with Love, that you instilled in her very being the need to
protect her children, if at all possible. Thank you for giving the entire
mother's the gift of nurturing, teaching and comforting towards their children.
For guiding them to be all
that God has created them to be. Fill every mother with love, wisdom and
endurance, with strength, patience and joy. Give them the ability to forgive
and understand again and again. Bless the entire Mother's for them not just to
fulfill their duties towards their children but to share their Motherly touch
to those who are motherless.
