What is a Mother?

A mother is someone who has given birth to a child. That's what the definition of a mother according to our dictionary but what is it with motherhood that most women would like to be someday?

There are different faces of motherhood. The only face that a child can sometimes see is the strict face of a woman who hinders them of doing what they want to do. A woman who doesn't understand them in any way possible at any point in their youth life. Someone who doesn't know how to listen to their heartaches, who has favoritism, who loved the other child. The one person in the world that will know the least of oneself.

What is it like being in their shoes? Nine months of waiting and so many hours in the labor room and finally enduring the pain of giving birth to the most important person in the planet for her. YOU. What is it like raising a child that doesn't understand the pains of what life can give them? Understanding the ins and the outs of a compulsive mind, the mood swings of a moody child? The one person who sees you in the most special way that none of your friends can never see. The one person who sacrificed if not all but most of the joys, the luxury, the happenings, the reunions, the physical affirmation. She. Your mother.


You may have neglect her in some ways she doesn't deserve. We may forget her birthday or any special events in her life. We may have missed her shopping day or forgot to call in one of your night outs. You may often keep her awake late at night waiting for you to be home. Whatever it is, she's always there and doesn't complain about all the things that you've missed in her life but she keeps a hopeful heart that in time things will change for you and that you will understand everything.


Most of us have mothers to go home to. A mother that will aide in every painful experience that we may experience in life. You may not notice her doing everything for you. You may not understand her value today but in time you will, I hope that it won't be too late for you to appreciate her. You may not love her the she loves you today but in time, in God's time, you will love her for who she is and in what she does.  In God's time, whatever indifference's you may have it will be gone like a dark cloud in the sky that has been blown by the wind.

Motherhood is one challenging and worth sacrificing among any kind of works. Motherhood doesn't have any job descriptions, for it is one of the most unique responsibility that a woman can choose and ready to die for. Being a mother is sacrificing for your child's happiness. Being a mother is being patient to wait until her child will understand their life and situation. Being a mother doesn't stop after giving birth, seeing her child graduate and even walking her down that aisle. Being a mother is a permanent responsibility. It is not work for motherhood doesn't require any salary for her to keep on going. Being a mother is giving love everyday in the most unique way she possibly can. 

She was once like you. A Brat, witty, funny, crazy, can't get enough, moody, clumsy,cry baby, good friend, teachers pet, good listener, childish, shopaholic, loves escaping whatever, cuts classes too, sexy, wise, good follower, says her opinion even though it's harsh, loving even though it hurts, facing the toughest storm in her life, worrisome, troublesome. You name it she was once like you. In her most unique way she has been there at your moment. What is it in being a mother that we don't understand? I have no answer. Every mother is unique. Learn how to love your mother for it is what God wants us to do. 


Whatever you may call her, today is the best day to give back to everything she has done for us. Everything she has been sacrificing for our happiness. For the most wonderful, beautiful, patient, open hearted, open minded, crazy, childish, obedient and who loves me unconditionally. To my mother, I am sorry for everything that I've caused you. I thank God for you and for letting me understand what you've been and for what you have become because of your experiences and to all the mothers who are enduring the pains of motherhood.
HAPPY MOTHERS DAY! you deserve more than thanks. More than our sacrifice for you have laid your life or us. You deserve more. 


God bless!
