a mother
you know when you're a kid, and you go into Toys 'R' Us and you see the huge assortment of toys. some of them have these little holes where the buttons are beckoning you to 'TRY ME!' most of the times kids press that button to its death, and then decide that hey maybe i don't want that toy.
many things in life have a 'Try Me' button screaming at you, but motherhood is something that doesn't. after 9 months of pregnancy, once you bring new life into the world, you suddenly bear all responsibility for him/her. the first day you might find him the cutest thing on earth, but as the days go by, the feeding, the caring, the nursing, everything takes a toll on you. then he starts learning to walk, learning to run and then he gets the terrible twos, goes to school, enters adolescence, and it's too late to start looking around for the return policy because it doesn't exist.
a mother's love is so abundant, unconditional, overwhelming. i am very thankful for my mother, even as i'm 15,015 km (i actually googled this) away from her and we shouldn't let Hallmark dictate the blueprint for loving our mothers. mothers should be loved and thanked daily :)
“some people feel like they don't deserve love. they walk away quietly into empty spaces, trying to close the gaps of the past.”
