She used to be 22; figuring
out that never-ending cycle of what she’s supposed to be doing with her life.
She used to be 15; obsessing every day how to look more perfect than yesterday.
Your mom had a whole other life before you came into it. She had own hobbies
and aspirations, just like you have today, and she probably even had a huge
crush on someone else who wasn’t your dad.
Whether you are close to your
mom or not, you can’t necessarily deny how much she has done for you. You can’t
deny the times when you were out with your friends while your mom was busy
cleaning the whole house by herself when she would rather be resting or even be
out with her own friends for a change. You can’t ignore the times when she
would come home from an eight-hour-long
tiring day, staying on her feet for another extra hour just to cook you dinner
before you retire for the day.
Your mom is the complete
definition of a strong woman. She cooks, she cleans, and she works tirelessly
to help put a roof over your head. But that’s only the half of it.
Your mother is outstanding
because of the motivation she tells herself every day during the tough times
she feels like she can’t take it anymore. She is amazing because she is the
heart of the family who knows exactly how to keep everybody calm and focused.
She is one of a kind because the type of love she offers is something no one
else can provide.
Its that type of love that
only comes through with great mental capacity when her body is about to give
out but her mind still tells her to hang in there for the last few seconds. The
type where the phrase ‘I love you no matter what’ comes to life every single
day when her patience becomes stronger than her pride.
No one can compare to the
strength of a mother. She not only exceeds the physicality of her the
capacities when taking care of you, your sister and/or brother, and your dad at
the same time. Though, the very thing that has always my curiosity and
inspiration is the constant question that’s been lingering in my head for a
while now. That question is, how in the world could a human being can handle
all the physical and mental stress and responsibilities when taking care of
somebody else other than themselves?
I guess no one will be able to
answer this question. I have great respect for every mother out there because
of this. As a young adolescent woman in her 20s trying to figure out where her
life is going to go and still having to take care of herself in the process; I
really could not imagine myself taking of any children right now, or anyone else.
That is why I respect to be very woman who has mastered how to love
unconditionally, any human being who knows how to put others before themselves
for a change, and an individual who knows the difference between loving someone
for who they are and loving the idea of who they want them to be. Happy
Mother’s Day.
