Journey To a Mother

Motherhood is a wonderful journey. Every where we have seen people talking about the greatness of being a mother,the joy and happiness,the wonderful moments with your kids. We can see cute laughing pictures of babies with their mother that makes one think of motherhood as a jovial smooth  ride. But behind those pictures lies the truth. It is a roller coaster ride,with so many ups and downs,twist and swirls,tears and laughter.This is the story of how I embraced myself as a mother.

As expected that day arrived ,when the bundle of great responsibility was reported within me. Through the nine month journey, I was bombarded with many advises,criticism and congratulations that changed from OKAY to BEARABLE to UNBEARABLE. The journey though pleasant was filled with unwanted fears .Words are not enough to explain the emotions of being pregnant. So as the old people say -"All's well that Ends Well" . And so it did. MY Baby Girl Was Born.

The Transition Period from a wife to Mother is very tiring, even with all its blessings. Please don't roll your eyes,it's a fact that we all admit discreetly. Life becomes a mixture of fun , happiness , tensions,anxiety and jubilation all moulded into a tiny capsule . This is the phase where we start to admire our Mothers more. We sense a new form of  respect within us to "Motherhood". Countless of sleepless nights,surely makes you sleep deprive but also give a strength to surpass anything. This is the time when we rediscover ourselves.  Surprised,by our own capability to pass this phase ,now we know we can do it. There are thousands of books that tells us about parenting,but the greatest book is your own feeling. We know what is good for our child. If anybody asks , how you know, the answer is:"I DO BECAUSE I AM A MOTHER".

The journey to be a Mother, is very tiring and pleasantful at the same time.It teaches the most valuable lessons of one's life : the ultimate power of "LOVE". It's love that drives a Mother to any extend unimaginable. Now we look upon life with a new perspective. Mothers you should be proud of yourselves.You are criticised at every steps. You are tagged irresponsible even by strangers. You are questioned by all. You are the one who risks everything for your child.You are  the first God,Teacher,Friend and Guardian Angel for your little one. "HATSSS OFF MOTHER"
