Mothers are a special breed. They have to have patience, time, energy, willingness to sacrifice, and super strength to push us out when we are born. How can a person love another person without knowing them, understanding them, talking to them, seeing them for so long but then when we are born there is instant love? Can you honestly love another human being without knowing their name first? Could that child really be your pride and joy? Would you be afraid to make mistakes? Would the future decisions your children make be your fault if they are bad and your praises if they are good? How can you determine success in motherhood? If you have a little girl, will she look up to you and be your best friend? If you have a boy will you force him to participate in hobbies you could not do since you are not a boy?
Are these the questions mothers ask or have asked? Could I be underestimating the power of love that a mother has?
I do not think I can understand motherhood until I have a child but the power that my mom has is amazing. I cannot understand how she loves me and my brothers from the first time she saw us until now. What I do know is that whatever mistakes she believes she had made and whether or not her plan with us went accordingly, I know she did everything right. I also know that I love her and she loves the hell out of her kids! I cannot say me and my brothers made it easy for her but I do not believe she would take back any moment.
I love you mom!
