Motherhood

Being a mom is the biggest blessing of my life.  It is also one of the most selfless things I have done.  I no longer own anything, nothing is "mine".  Every piece of me belongs to my family.  I work for them, unpaid, and mostly unthanked. But it is not for the money nor for the thanks that I became a mother.  It is by far the most profound thing to acknowledge.  It is to see their smile, to see them achieve, to witness their growth but to also be there when they don't.

Gradually as they get older, things are always changing and so is my role as a mom but the one thing that remains steady is that I love them every step of the way and make sure they know it too.

Happy mothers day to all moms out there.
