Labor might be painful but raising the child is a task...

In my last post. I stated my victory. Although I have far to go...there is my faith and a few good women I owe thanks to.

Dear Mom's on Mother's Day,

I commend you.

The innocence that lives within a child is a mystery to most people in this world.

Some mothers have a way of preserving that while allowing their children to grow and explore during the journey into maturity, while managing to shape the mind into a responsible adult.

These women sacrifice so much of their selves. And every mother will tell you this....but the thing is....no one really understands how...

They allow their bodies
Selflessness has to be given to a teenager, even when it comes down to a simple question that might seem idiotic to someone will a trillion things to think about. The fact that they could take time to think about the complete meaning behind the answer so that a child be intruigued...
That takes hard-core patience. Because there is no mind like a child's.

There is no limit to the imagination, no tunnel vision.

For a mother to watch her son take the keys, when she's seen him grow from a toddler playing with Tonka Trucks....with the gnawing fear that something might happen while giving him confidence as a young man and concern as a mother in loving positive form enough for him to know the consequences of vital actions.
That takes Guts. and Trust. because there is no energy and force like that of a teenage boy.

When it comes down to a girl, going off to college, her mother should only understand....as a woman herself....what it's like to want that freedom, but to remember how scared, how nervous, how exciting all of it is to be on your own.

Does a mother allow her daughter to treat her well growing up?
To teach her respect while being able to enforce discipline at the same time?

It's a daunting task shaping a mind, encouraging a human spirit and supporting a soul with your whole heart.
Yet there are women who do it to more than 3,4,5 children at a time.
Some are school teachers and nurses but they send the children away after a few hours.

I hope I get to have twins,....I've always secretly wanted to have a boy and girl twin children. With an older son.

But if I don't get that, even more secretly I've always wanted to have a farmhouse with a load full of kids. And the cowbell to ring for dinner....

Either way, I hope my children are healthy and happy. I pray I can raise them well.
I pray I can be a mother like so many I've met, and that I've always dreamed of being.
with tough love, encouragement and morals.
So that my children can know every day of their life to be the best of their capability with the understanding and acceptance that they are human while knowing love.


Mother. A word which stands alone in this world yet manages to blend in with so many other positive meanings. A word with strength, love, patience, kindness, resilience, creativity, force, passion, providing all ameneties of life with a sense of charge and will.

Mother. What a badass nickname.
