You never know just how much motherhood changes you from just a person wandering around the world lost and confused..to a person wandering her living room lost and confused. But in all seriousness it has been one of the most if not THE most wonderfully painful joys I have ever experienced in my entire life.
Your pure soul and being are poured into these tiny creatures who look solely to you for every single thing, what an all encompassing responsibility people too often take for granted. Sometimes I find myself down and out, feeling like I haven't contributed enough to society and the world as a whole. Then again what is more important than insuring that our next generation is prepared and able to lead us... to teach them that we are here not only for ourselves. In other words raise them to be truly caring and compassionate happy individuals...
I'm overwhelmed constantly with my emotions from being so torn up and twisted with worry to every fiber of my being glowing when they take their first step... say mama for the first time.. frustrated when they won't stop screaming for ice.. knowing full well they learned the love for munching on it from you.
It's a constant duty...once a mama always a mama. But the best duty one could ever be given...
Just thought I would share...
