A mother is not just someone who gave birth to a baby. If you ask me, a mother describes the combination of feelings, behaviors, and sacrifices that happen while raising a child, whether the child is biologically hers or not.
She is the only woman in the world that will continually forgive your lies, no matter how big they are. She will still give you that gracious smile just minutes after you misbehaved and made her mad as hell.
A mom will endure the pain caused when you reject her and her kisses because you’re too modern to be seen with her when you meet your friends. She will be the only one supporting and boosting your spirit up whenever you’re feeling down.
Mothers leave all their individual needs behind so their children can have everything they need. They will not sleep or eat till you come home and they know you’re safe and sound. Mothers will protect their children with the price of their own lives. A mother will do all these things with genuine love, and she won’t stop just because you’re 50 years old and live in another country.
It’s not every day that we take the time to let them know how thankful we are for everything they’ve done for us. Maybe we think that’s just their duty and we don’t even think to thank them
Some of us only get to understand a mother’s effort once we become parents ourselves – better late than never, right? But the ugly truth is that sometimes it can be too late, so we should learn to say “thank you” and “I love you, mom” every time she cooks our favorite meal and every time she calls to check upon us.
She’s tired, she tries her best and maybe she still doubts her mother “skills”, but a few sweet words will cheer up her day and give her full strength to move on and do what it takes to make you an even better person than you are today.
