Who is a Mother?

 

She decided to be a mom, aware that there is no handbook or lessons to prepare her for the journey ahead. She embraced the uncertainties, knowing the path might be marked by challenges, heartbreak, and tears, yet illuminated by moments of overwhelming joy and fulfilment. Her decision is a testament to her instinctive commitment to bring another being into the world, to nurture and guide them with boundless love and compassion.

She works tirelessly, enduring sleepless nights and physical discomforts, which will evolve into emotional challenges. At times, she may face solitude, as her spouse may fail to comprehend the trials she undergoes. Yet, she perseveres, understanding that she has been entrusted with this role, even without a tangible reward at the end. Within the depths of her being, she discovers the true essence of fulfilment, as she witnesses her life's purpose unfold through the journey of motherhood.

Happy Mother's Day to all the incredible mothers out there, facing each day's trials with strength and love. Your dedication shapes futures and enriches lives. Today, we honour and celebrate you today and every day.

Especially to my mum, Janet and my wife Celest who has to deal with our kids and their stuff every day.
