Assalamualaikum
Motherhood is an experience unlike any other on earth.
I love being a mother, and I have to say that Allah S.W.T has truly blessed me with the most important and fullfilling job ever created.. being a mother.. It is the most important thing in my life and makes everything I go through so worthwhile..
Being a mother means that I have had the opportunity to experience loving someone more than I love myself.. I have learned what it's like to experience joy and pain through someone else's life.. It has brought me pride and joy.. My son accomplishments touch me and thrill me like no one else's can.. It has brought me a few tears and heartaches at times, but it has taught me hope and patience.. It has shown me the depth, strength, and power of love..
Being a mother hasn't always been easy, and I'm sure I've said or done things that have hurt or confused my son.. But no one has ever made me as satisfied as my son do just by being happy.. No one's smile has ever warmed my heart like my son does.. No one's laughter fills my heart with delight as quickly as my son can and no one's hugs feel as sweet as my son do..
No other memories of bad times have miraculously turned into important lessons or humorous stories.. The good times have become precious treasures to relive again and again..
My son are a part of me, and no matter what happened in the past or what the future holds, My son are someone I will always accept, forgive, appreciate, adore, and love unconditionally..
Becoming a mother is a profound and unique adventure.. Motherhood is an experience unlike any other on earth.. There is nothing as profound, nothing that will stretch you so far beyond anything you previously imagined.. It is remarkably challenging, yet uniquely rewarding at the same time.. Other life experiences may bring you joy or fulfillment, or encourage you to grow, but none are on the same scale as becoming a mother..
When I began to write this blog, a few friend of mine in their mid twenties who does not have children or married yet asked me how I would describe the experience of becoming a mother.. It was a question that stopped me, after all, how could I describe the indescribable?? How could I put into words what it is like to be the shepherd, the guardian, and the caretaker of a tiny, helpless human being and to gradually wean and empower him to be able to live a healthy, happy, and successful life??
The answer is that there is no one definitive answer.. In its most elevated state, motherhood is awesome.. When you look up the definition of "awesome" the dictionary says "so impressive or overwhelming as to inspire a strong feeling of admiration or fear, grand, moving, frightening, majestic and lofty." This is the most inspirational element of motherhood-the soul-stirring aura of greatness that makes it so hard to define..
.. I am a mother that is still learning & hoping for the best..
