They are so special but we tend to take them for granted at times. Think of the time when they were in labour just waiting for the right hour so that we could come into this world. The pain, anguish excitement all roll into one. Suddenly we are here in the light far so different from the darkness within. Happiness, joy and laughter could be heard as mothers cuddled their cute little ones in their loving arms not really knowing what to expect on the long road to freedom but always praying and hoping for the best to come.
Some had to endure terrible anguish and sorrow courting danger in the process after months of heaviness but always ever ready no matter what happened. When the joy finally settled down, mothers face the monumental task of bringing up their precious gifts. Oh, it's not easy for the path to success is not laid with gold!
Many begin to wonder what the next step to take and how to bring out the best in their precious ones. What if I fail to perform? What if my precious gifts do not make it?
Mothers have to toil through sleepless nights shouldering the heavy burden, much heavier than their first eight or nine months.
Finally after years of sorrow and care and seeing the success of their little ones who have now blossom into manhood and are now ready to enter the next phase of life, mothers can proudly say, "I have made it".
Let's hold our mothers in high esteem because they deserve it. They may not have done everything that you want but surely they never intend to forsake you. There is always a special place in mothers' hearts for their children, though we may never understand. We can have thousands of other things but only ONE mother. Happy Mother's Day
