I know I am a month early..but my heart is filled with so much that it just wants to overflow so somehow I have to express myself and not keep these thoughts bottled up inside me..
If only the children know how much mothers love them, what they go through just to see them happy, doing well, and A-Ok..they don't know what mothers go through just to make things better for them- look around you, watch the news, read the papers- mothers go through hell just to achieve what they think will be good for their children...some of the things they go through? verbal abuse, emotional abuse, physical abuse, being taken for granted, suffering being away from the family just to be able to work & help provide the children's needs and wants, waking up early to prepare everything before going off for work which will take them 8 to 10 hours then go home in the evening and again see to their needs.
Some mothers are trapped in unhappy marriages but decide to stay married for the children- perhaps financially she can't sustain them so she has to stay..or she can't bear the thought of living away from the children - she just have to be with them every minute, every hour, every day..so she decides to stay even if the marriage doesn't give her the personal happiness she desires but she finds happiness in being in that farce of a marriage just to see her children happy and be able to provide everything they need....maybe when the children have all grown up and have flown out of the coop, then maybe it will be the mother's turn to find the personal happiness that has been lacking in those 20 to 25 years of marriage...so maybe that's the reason why some couples after seemingly being blissfully happily married for 25 years suddenly separate and live apart...
that's what some mothers go through..they are not as brave as those other mothers out there who took the risk of leaving the house, filing for separation or annulment, and stood their ground in raising their kids alone or from a distance...
so whatever type of mother you maybe..stuck in a relationship that gives no joy, or in one blissful, blessed, and happy union...these mothers have different crosses to bear, and I know that every Easter they find hope that somehow what was sown in tears will be reaped with joy....
Happy Mother's Day!!!!
