Hi Everyone....
I wanted to write this blog not to have a go at anyone in particular or in general, but to share the way I feel and my thoughts on Motherhood. I do wish to state that it will never be my intention to offend or contradict anyone. I simply wish to share some facts that I believe all Mothers and Mothers-to-be should consider.
I am a 42 year old Mother of a beautiful 4 year old boy. I was blessed with a healthy, happy boy, who eats well, sleeps well, has some minor allergies which are manageable, and is very clever and funny. He loves playing all boy things and enjoys his books and can write his name and read a few words now. So, I can't complain. I have been blessed with this child who has taught me so many important things, I wish to share with you all.
One of the things I learnt from my son is that one cannot be "Almost a Mother"... you either are or you're not at all. I spend a lot of time with him, making him feel secure, loved, nurtured as well as looking after his main needs such as a healthy, balanced diet. When he's sick, I'm able to get up three or four times in the middle of the night and spend the next day with him, making sure he's comfortable and looked after. I've been able to participate in all his activities and witness every milestone from the day he opened his eyes, looked at me and smiled. I think of the four years that I've spent with him and how fast they've gone by and I think of all those moments that I know will never return. But those moments are embedded in my mind and in my heart forever. Moments I wouldn't change or give up for anything in the world.... not even a job.
