Experienced Pain, torture, fear, sacrifice, been to the
brink of death for you-while bringing you to earth, worried too much-when your
temperatures changed when you were little, had sleepless nights-when you cried
your lungs out throughout the night, cried with you as she sang you songs to
lull you, some even stopped pursuing their dreams so that yours could succeed,
some tolerate abuse so that you could have a perfect family of dad and mom, the list goes on and on.
That’s a mother.
They have been to the depths of oceans for you, but they
always have it all together, even when everything seems to fall apart.
Why?
Because they can feel
your pain when you cry, they worry a lot about you than you even worry about
yourself. They don’t want you to be the element that they are, they try to
formulate a mixture with better qualities than theirs. The devil hoots in hell
and they don’t bow, whoever comes there way is just but a non-issue to them.
Intuition, one of the superpowers mothers have.
I can guarantee you that your mom senses when you’re in
trouble even when you are miles away. I remember a friend of mine, while in
third year, had gone for a road trip during one of the festivities and bad luck
has it that they got involved in an accident on their return journey, whereby
their car overturned. Safety belts and air bags saved them since they got no
bruises, but what surprised this friend of mine is that as she was being
dragged out of the car, very scared as she had seen death flash in front her
face, her phone rang and on picking it was her mom. Yes, her mom called, and
the surprising part is when she asked her if she was all right, my friend of course
said she was but asked her mom why she sounded so concerned, the mother said
she had gotten a sharp pain in her chest and her stomach turned, as though
something bad had happened to her since that’s what crossed her mind and so
that’s why she called!
Even though the umbilical cord is physically cut when your
mom gives birth to you, the mother-child cord is never cut.
You are always a part of her, wherever you go. She thinks
about your life more than she thinks about her own life. She gets a hunch when
you are in trouble.
That’s why even when you haul insults at her, it hurts her a
lot, but she still forgives you, because the thought of not forgiving you hurts
her more. I remember a story of a little girl, one day her mom said something
that she didn’t like. So she went silent on her. The next day she went and
bought her some very cute shoes she had always wanted. She knew she was trying
to make her talk, it hurt her so much. She thanked her, went to her room, cried
and asked the Big guy up in heaven to forgive her and never make her hurt her
mom again. Thereafter she treasured her more than her life.
Moms are a treasure, a gift, and gold mine in our lives,
while they are still with us, lets show them the love they show us. Instead of
just posting stuff on Facebook, twitter and all social media platforms about
how we love them, how about you just tell them on their faces. Even if she
won’t say anything, deep down, you give her eternal joy. The happiness a mother
always wants. She’s your mama. ADIOS!
