A Mother’s Sacrifice…

Unless you become one, only then you will understand… 

You may have heard this a thousand times already or might have gotten tired of being told as such. 

This phrase is actually, TRUE. I don’t give a damn of it growing up but it did made sense when I became… a MOTHER. 

I barely remember anything from my childhood. But I do know I had wonderful memories growing up.

I sometimes wonder how I am as a child… a baby… How my life was from the inside. How I was cared for from the very first beat of life gifted of me.

Or let’s just say it the other way around. 

How she's like as a mom? How her life was when she carried me for 9 months... and how I made her feel the very first time she knew I exist.  The very first time she laid her eyes on me.

How cliché of me to asked such thing… right?

I love reminiscing the old days, whether good or bad; and sometimes find myself smiling, laughing or even crying. I never imagined that every experience will bring forth total happiness.

I am not perfect as a daughter and until now, I regretted a few decisions I did wrong from all these years. 

I’m just like the rest. 

Not everyone gets a chance to have someone they can call, MOM. I can’t imagine the pain… the sorrow… How they managed to live their life every single day. It isn’t easy and it takes a lot of courage. 

It never crossed my mind that life will be that hard on me too; in a different way. With what I’ve experienced, I remember what was told of me then… Especially when I made her feel miserable or when I’m lousy and careless… 

“You’ll understand it… once you're in my shoes.” 

Those words... I care less... It meant nothing for me before...

RIGHT... she is right... everyone is right...

IT ISN’T EASY. IT TAKES A LOT OF BRAVERY, DETERMINATION, PERSEVERANCE… you name it all… It takes a LOT OF EVERYTHING TO BECOME A MOM. I learned it the hard way. All the sacrifices you'll have to endure. The responsibilities you have to face. It will change you in any way possible. 

Motherhood will help you become a better version of you...

I considered myself lucky to have such a wonderful family. To have been blessed with such an amazing mama; and cared for as well by the people I considered as my second mom. 

To all the mothers out there…  Embrace the gift you have and be thankful for being blessed with such a role. It might be that hard sometimes and I know you’re almost in a verge of giving up. Keep the faith and love. Remember...

not everyone gets the opportunity to become one.

I think the reason why GOD doesn't give us the chance to remember even a single thing when we're still a baby; it's maybe because HE wanted us to experience parenthood in a unique (unprepared) way. 

HE wanted us to expect the unexpected.

And learn valuable lessons along the way!

To all my friends... family... relatives... 

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY ♥
