What Being A MOTHER Means To Me

"A mother's happiness is like a beacon, lighting up the future but reflected also on the past in the guise of fond memories." 

It's giving air to the lungs that grew within you, and sight to the eyes that will never see you as anything but mommy.“Parenting is raising a child to be the best they can be. Being a mother is different: it means providing that indescribable feeling of comfort, no matter the age of the child. It’s being that person you call on that makes you feel better and doesn’t even need to say anything.”

I think that being a mother is the most pleasurable rewarding challenging experience that I could ever now. From the beginning... that first sight of that little being you have been nurturing and keeping safe for the past nine months is enough to make you cry and laugh it is the most beautiful moment in life.
"The mother's heart is the child's schoolroom."

It's listening to stories that go on and on without a point. It's always being available for the "Mommy watch me!" yells and "Mommy I need you" please. It's confusion, mistakes, uncharted territory and blindfolded guessing. It's snuggling on the couch watching a movie, braiding hair till your fingers hurt, it's being woken up early on Saturday morning because they want to crawl in bed and be close to your heart. It's having the worst day and having them hug you and tell you "mommy I love you", and needing nothing more. 

The touches, the smiles, being there 100% dependent on you.Watching them grow, tears in your eyes when they hurt themselves. It is like you have been hurt. Watching as they leave home to go to school for the first time.Your heart is breaking.

"That first little picture how proud you are".

Illnesses - how you wish you could take it away from them and go through it yourself.
The above things never change because you will always be there mum.In later life you
are right there for them through thick and thin. You will always cry or weep for them either in sadness or happiness.The day our firstborns were born we became a mother - I did not get a manual on how to be a mum! did you?.

“There are so many responsibilities that come with being a mother. From the time when they’re babies in your arms to teenagers becoming more independent, you always want to help. With something like the environmental crisis, that’s a burden that our generation might leave for our kids, and I want to do everything I can to help. That’s where my profession ties into my passion as a mother: I aim to use digital games to highlight the beauty of the nature world.”

There is no such thing as a perfect mum.You plod along the best you can and learn from your mistakes. Watching your children grow. Loving them un-endlessly.

"Motherhood: All love begins and ends there." "Children are the anchors that hold a mother to life."

It's a blessing, a gift, a relationship that never ends and a love that never dies. It's the best thing I have ever become, the greatest love I have ever felt and the best part about being me.

It’s comforting to hear so many other mothers words that closely resembles the feelings and words that are within myself. We all have the same goals… just different ways of expressing and going about them. If we would allow ourselves to toss aside the external differences and with an open-mind look underneath. We would find that we have more in common with eachother then we sometimes want to believe.

Being beside them through there life. Just being the best that you can be. To give your life in place of there's. That's what being a mother means to me! - Anonymous (Mother)
