Our children will never understand. They will never understand our LOVE for them is beyond unconditional. I just shared with my daughter that my love is so real, I will die protecting her and her little brother. Without them I'm just Cheneka. But, each morning they look into my eyes and I hear her say "Mommy" and he smile as I stand over his crib to pick him up, it gives a sense of completion that know one could understand UNLESS you are a parent.
Situations happen daily that are beyond our control. They can either make us stronger or they will break us to the core. I know for sure, my children will never understand the measures I take to keep them safe and to provide for them. They will never understand what it means to want something BUT decide to buy them that little shirt or order from the Scholastic Book club book club just BECAUSE. They will never understand what it means to go without because ALL of their needs and sometimes wants are met.
I watch my baby boy and marvel at his growth. He's 6 months and attempting to crawl now. I watch my daughter and I'm proud of the person she's becoming but I hope she does not compromise who and what I've taught her to be just to have friends.Our children go through their own identity issues where we will have to help them along the way. While, we may not always agree with what they are doing or saying, its our position to reassure them, "Although I'm about to discipline you, I STILL and WILL always LOVE U.
There is a sense of self worth that comes along with the title "Mommy"
We Pray, Cry, Smile, Hurt, Rejoice and even feel Defeat. What matters most is the way we deal with whatever is presented our way. While we will suffer through stages of parenthood being tough, there will also be numerous accomplishments that will outweigh any hurt that may come our way.
Today's lesson has taught me, there will some good days and some bad days. The Joy is knowing that at the end of the day, if I have loved my children the way God has ordained me too I have accomplished one of the many positions I hold as a Woman. Ever decision my child make will not make me happy and I will voice that. I just pray that they will value me enough to always share, no matter what the outcome may be.
