Mom.How Lucky I Am to Still Have Her!

Mother: the most beautiful word on the lips of mankind — Kahil Gibran

I’m taking a moment to talk about my mom — the most amazing person that has always been in my life. She’s like a shining star, a constant source of love and support that gives me the strength to carry on and the power to hold on during life’s challenges. Her belief in me gives me confidence, and I’m so grateful for her.

It wasn’t until I became a mother myself that I truly understood the love she has for me. Now, every argument, every piece of advice, every sleepless night, and every tear makes complete sense to me. I now comprehend the depth of her affection, something I couldn’t grasp back then. Today, I genuinely understand what it means to be a mother, and I deeply appreciate the significance of having a mother. As a child, I overlooked these aspects.

Becoming a mother has unveiled a new perspective, allowing me to connect with my own mother’s experiences on a profound level. The sacrifices, the worries, and the tireless efforts that were once just fragments of my childhood memories are now strongly and deeply understood. Every nuance of her love, every late-night comforting, and every tear she shed for me has taken on a profound meaning.

Now, as I am dealing with the challenges of motherhood, I find myself echoing her words, understanding the reasons behind her actions, and appreciating the immense strength it takes to be a mother. The circle of understanding has completed its purpose , and I stand in awe of the woman who guided me through the early chapters of my life.

The selflessness, the unconditional love, and the constant worry for the well-being of a child are now not just concepts but lived experiences.

And I love her even more!

When I’m tired or happy as a mom, I often think about when I was a kid, just a little girl. In the mirror, I see my mom’s face and realize her journey was more than just taking care of a child; it was about nurturing a soul. She always tried to do her best! The memories of her laughing, her warm hugs, and her good advice are like special pieces that help me as I go through my own mom journey.

I’m seriously lucky to call her my mom, and I appreciate every day that she’s still a big part of my life.

And now, the love that watched over me my whole life is still here. It has grown. She shares it freely with my kids. Her heart seems to hold so many souls, giving without expecting anything in return. It feels unstoppable, like nothing can hinder its journey to our hearts.

Watching how much she cares for our family inspires me. She teaches without words, just in the way she hugs and helps. Her love isn’t just for now; it’s a lasting gift! Even in simple things, she shows us what love really means.

And it’s not just for today; it’s something that stays with us, making a mark on the future.

And I’m so grateful to still have her!

I’m not ready for the time when I can’t pick up the phone and ask, “Mom, how are you today?”

I probably never will!

However, I am ready to cherish every moment while she’s still with me. I want to compensate for the years I didn’t fully grasp. I aim to be prepared to love as she does, offering without expecting anything in return!

Now, in the moments when she’s just a phone call away, I want to make every interaction count, cherishing the simple joys and building memories.

Life moves swiftly, and I want to be present for every shared laugh, every piece of advice, and every silent understanding between us.

So, I’m sorry for those rough nights, the tears, and the words that hurt. Now I understand.

I love you mom!
