Motherhood is a promise, lifelong vow to nurture and stand by the side of your beautiful dream. Have you ever noticed the sheen in the eyes of a mother holding its newborn to her bosom?
I interviewed mothers of varied age-groups and walks of life, the successful and professional to the simple homemakers about their happiest moments in life and I discovered that 98% mothers reported their happiest moment to be when they held their baby for the first time. It also superseded the rating given to the moment they fell in love or became independent.
Most of them said, it was the moment of bliss and nothing else felt the same. When asked to lay three primary and significant changes in their lives that came about with motherhood, most of them said, firstly, it has made them a responsible individual, as children are mirrors and inevitably an image of their mothers.
Donna, a mother of two teenagers, Emily and Ethan, confessed that whenever she finds something is amiss in the behavior of her children she pauses to reflect and tweak her own attitude. The results have been more effective than nagging or reprimanding the children. The fact is you need not be perfect but you need to know how to make up for your follies. How to get up, dust yourself and get going is important for the children to learn from your life.

Secondly, it teaches patience, a reservoir of calm is needed to bring up a child in this world. You have to put a lid on your flying temper and play the waiting game. Megan, a mother of two young daughters, shared how her patience level rose from being nonexistent to full blown. From battling to make them eat to waking up all night when they are unwell, saying no to grownups’ outings or giving up on full-time, high paying job and compromising on the “me-time” willingly are a part and parcel in qualifying for being a good mother. She shares jokingly, “Bob, when they were infants I waited for them to speak and now I wait for them to shut-up for a change.”
My girlfriend, Aaliyah was only sixteen when they she was diagnosed of renal failure. One of her kidney was not performing and had to be replaced urgently. Her parents managed to get her a donor and she was operated for the same. It’s been over 10 years and she is hale and hearty now. Lately, when her mother took to the bed, her medical papers reported she was living on one Kidney. It struck her and she found out after much deliberation that her donor was none other than her mom.
I realized that last but not the least, motherhood teaches you what unconditional love really is, what it feels to love someone to bits and surrender for that one brilliant smile on their face which reaches your heart.
The ultimate exchange between a mother and a child undoubtedly is honest and seamless love.
