Happy Mother's Day

I received an email a couple of days ago and thought of sharing with you...

FOR ALL THE MUMS, 
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY! 
  
For some of us, we may be biological mothers for our children, but a mother’s roles are greater than this – we can also be emotional mothers and spiritual mothers,  because a mother is one who exhibits loves and cares for others, if you have done this to anyone (adults or children), happy mothers’ day ! 

Awesome Mom 

Before I was a Mom, 
I never tripped over toys 
or forgot words to a lullaby. 
I didn't worry whether or not 
my plants were poisonous. 
I never thought about immunizations.

Before I was a Mom, 
I had never been puked on. 
Pooped on. 
Chewed on. 
Peed on. 
I had complete control of my mind 
and my thoughts. 
I slept all night.

Before I was a Mom, 
I never held down a screaming child 
so doctors could do tests. 
Or give shots. 
I never looked into teary eyes and cried. 
I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin. 
I never sat up late hours at night 
watching a baby sleep. 

Before I was a Mom, 
I never held a sleeping baby just because 
I didn't want to put her down. 
I never felt my heart break into a million pieces 
when I couldn't stop the hurt. 
I never knew that something so small 
could affect my life so much. 
I never knew that I could love someone so much. 
I never knew I would love being a Mom. 

Before I was a Mom, 
I didn't know the feeling of 
having my heart outside my body.. 
I didn't know how special it could feel 
to feed a hungry baby. 
I didn't know that bond 
between a mother and her child. 
I didn't know that something so small 
could make me feel so important and happy. 

Before I was a Mom, 
I had never gotten up in the middle of the night 
every 10 minutes to make sure all was okay. 
I had never known the warmth, 
the joy, 
the love, 
the heartache, 
the wonderment 
or the satisfaction of being a Mom. 
I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much, 


before I was a MOM


I was very moved and touched by these words. Marriage and motherhood has made my life more WHOLE. I've felt more than I thought I could ever feel for another...I've experienced more joy, happiness, challenges, pain and responsibilities.


I thank God for these... 


For all MOTHERS out there, I salute you on this very special day for all your pain and your tears and for making your loved ones so special.
