The earth would have been in silence if they have not become
who they are, there would be no humans inhabiting our planet, indeed. The real essence of a woman is procreation
and motherhood. And God has made all
these things possible. Science can explain how a womb can nurture a growing
fetus BUT it is the mystery of God’s plans that CREATED the uterus and all
inevitable processes in reproduction. Therefore,
mothers are wonderful gift from our Lord God.
We have to tell our mothers how wonderful they are. Nine months in their womb and the years we
are existing until now they have not stopped caring for us.
Although most of the children are still
studying or still incapable of thanking them materially, we are not limited to
that. We can thank them by showing
appreciation, a little ‘thank you’, a little concern (doing little things we
can do to lessen the daily home chores), you never know it makes them happy to
see us study well too. Sometimes they
even did not want us to help at home and let us concentrate with our studies,
believe me I know it because that is how mama Susan is to me.
To the youngsters whose moms are working abroad, slow down
from asking allowance. You may not know how mom is out there. She might be
scouring other family’s CR (if she is a DH), or might be washing her patient
after a poo (caregivers), she may be shout at,scorned or maltreated – most
mothers keep their pains, she would not tell you. Each dollar is hardly earned
for you to brag on. I remember an Indi
Film entitled Leona Calderon depicting an OFW mom, her son is busy asking his
mom for money to buy car. The mother
assures her son he will have it soon
mother is just saving. The mother went
sick and even died abroad but still she managed to send that money she did not
spend for medication. The story may be
fiction but it happens in real life. I hope you would not end-up like the child in the story - full of regrets, I believe.
Believe me, you will never understand how great a mother's love is until you become one. I am now.
