GROWING, I always thought that motherhood was a piece of cake! Boy, was I wrong! Daily when I struggle with handling my ONE handful, my thoughts wander to my mother who puts up with three of us! I’ve never been the touchy-feely person some girls are. I’ve never really talked about feelings or boys with my mum, but somehow just being around her makes me feel like I can handle my issues. I’m not very good with expressing my emotions verbally, so I make up for that through my actions. I always thought that I had more qualities of my father, but now looking back, I’m more like my mum than I realized. She has gone through a lot in life and it has made her stronger, and sometimes I wonder if I would have the strength to endure the same? I love my mother very much and it is my prayer that one day I may be blessed to be like her.
