What motherhood is to me?
Many will say so many things and nobody is really wrong. I remember before I had my kids, I was a completely different person. No worries, no cares and I could sleep as long as I wanted without anyone waking me up.(chuckle) It is very different when you think about it taking care of yourself for the most part is not that hard, it just is what it is. The biggest thing about motherhood is the meaning your life takes, you no longer are your keeper you are your children s keeper.
Life takes on a strange but happy setting, I heard so many times before I had children from friends and strangers alike that when I had a child I could never live without them. I never really understood what people meant by that but it happened to me like a thief in the night, one day as I lay in bed before my daughter woke up, I looked at my baby and she turned over smiled in her sleep, yawned and uttered with complete disregard for anything else "mama". It made me truly understand that without her, my life had no meaning. I could never imagine a life without my children. I think that all in all there are many people in this world people with children and people without but when it comes down to it, your life doesn't ever really begin until you are a mother. You see details that you never paid any attention to, the world becomes a better place yet scarier because you are always worried about if anything will happen to your kids. You see things and it seems like you were re-born, the first time for everything in your life all over again. It seems ironic and and somewhat egotistical but in many ways becoming a mother is starting life with a clean slate again. You become a teacher and a student, you try to help your kids to not make the same mistakes as you did and of course you try as hard as you can to give them everything they want and even so what you didn't get when you were growing up. You repeat so many times in your life," I will not become my mother" and then one day you wake up and poof ! you now understand that everything your parents told you not to do was for your benefit and to protect you and it scares you stiff, oh my god I am my mother. Then you hope to god that your kids will listen to you and then you sit back, take a deep breath and giggle. Well everyone must learn in there good time and you just smile in gratitude, thinking to your self "what is life" and you know for the first time in your life, that you can't answer that but it doesn't make you mad or sad, you feel happy for everything you have because you are a mother and with that alone you have everything you ever wanted and being content at that moment is all you need to live happy.
