Mothers Day

Mothers. 

They are the people in this life that you can count on to be there no matter what. They have an unceasing, unwavering and unconditional love that knows no bounds. I have always adored my mother. She is a beautiful, fun, caring, nurturing and loving woman who I can tell anything to. Who I know may differ in opinion when it comes to some things but will always be there, to support me, encourage me and love me for exactly who I am. I cannot describe the gratitude I have for my mother for loving me in this way. But I can assure her, that when I say, "I love you mum", it is not just words, it is a phrase that is the only one that can be given to try to convey how much she means to me, every time I say it.

It wasn't until I became a mother last year that I realised how deep and eternal a mothers love for their child is. I have never ever doubted the love my mother has for me, but until now I have never understood fully what a mothers love really is.

A mother has a job that she is on duty for 24 hours a day, 7 days a week...for the rest of her life. And she does it so Willingly. Joyously. Passionately. Completely. The role comes with on the job training which many a day will lead to self doubt, excessive criticism, much wanted (and much unwanted) advice and a big heart full of every emotion you could possibly imagine.

The love of a mother for her child engulfs her every day. It can be there when she wakes of a morning, when she closes her eyes of a night and throughout every special moment her children present her with, and share with her. Every wish for herself suddenly is overtaken by the intense desire for her child to have all the wonderful things in life. That she might grow old with someone she loves. Have her own children. Have a life filled with genuine and reliable friends. She will have good health her entire life. She will be a child of God and know Him throughout her earthly life, leaning on him in all times, good and bad. But mostly, for my baby, I long for her to know that I will always be here. That I will love her so unconditionally and completely with every fibre of my being, until the day I die and for eternity. I will always want the best of everything for her and every prayer I utter is filled with my love and dreams for my precious blossom. With every breath I take, I am filled with a renewed and more complete love for her. I hope she grows up knowing this, believing this, and that one day she might find herself in my position. A mother whose love for her child, despite these words, is simply indescribable.
