Mums

Our Mums

Are Our Saviors

A mother is a person who seeing there are only four pieces of pie for five people, promptly announces she never did care for pie.

The sweetest sounds to mortals given
Are heard in Mother, Home, and Heaven.

“A mother is someone who will make a marriage work for the sake of her children.”

Dedicated to all the amazing mothers out there – My Mum’s my world. 

I’ve always been dearly attached to my mum, as many of you out there will be too. I was particularly needy of her, when I was a little child, I was literally inseparable from her. I would hold my mothers’ dress from behind and follow her around EVERYWHERE! That was until my cousin’s began to taunt me and named me ‘mother’s tail’.

My mum is definitely by far, the most amazing person i know. She has never been able to bare it, seeing a tear roll down my cheek. She would quickly scoop me up and fight away the pain. Even now, she would embrace me in a gigantic hug. Because lets face it, I’m still a cry baby!

A mother is a person who ushered us into this world, and will always have that special spot reserved for, in our hearts. Some of you may not give much thought to your mother’s because their presence is something you have always known. You take advantage of this and fail to realise that there is a possibility that maybe one day, you will actually outlive her, and then, do you really want to live in regret? Do you want to torture yourself with the ‘what ifs’?

Understandably everyone’s relationship with their mother’s is different. Whilst one may show their love with the highest degree of respect, another may relate to her in a more friendly way. But the bottom line is, if you are raised by your mother and she is still around, trying her utmost best to keep you fed and protected, what right do you have to give her any pain and suffering? A mother will always remain by your side, as a protective figure, reassuring you, caring for you, and giving up her own dreams and feelings to replace them with yours.

Just think about it. How many times have you heard a mother, either on television, or books, or even real life say “We’re trying again for the sake of the kids”. This shows how unselfish a mother can be. How she will always put her children first and herself last. No matter the pain and suffering her marriage has bought she will try again and again. What gratitude do we give her? Not much. We may be the perfect daughter or son, but still this does not even come close to repaying the debt. That debt is impossible to pay back. Because foolishly we will still dismiss them when angry, rebuke them, or even stop all contact with them, but their love is the antonym of a candle flame – we are unable to diminish it.   

Motherhood, in short, is a sacrifice. And those who have mothers but no children of your own, you will only realise what it is truly like when you have kids of your own. Appreciate them now; before it is too late.
