Mommy Sam

I would have to say that being a mom has to be the most grueling role in the world. It plays up with all your emotions. From being sad to happy, to excited and panicky when the little one is sick. It consumes you. It makes a fool out of you because you just give your all and everything. It's when "unconditional love" comes in the picture because nothing and no one can stop you from being a mom. It cannot be taken away from you. Well, only death can end your role as mom.

I am writing this now because I am kinda overwhelmed by my role as a mom. I have a handsome, sweet and such a loving baby boy and I can't help not to feel blessed for having him in my life. But being a mom is far from a perfect life.

Being a mom requires a lot of patience and understanding. And it's not hard to execute those since in love everything comes naturally. But there are still instances when your patience is being tested. I was told once that as a parent I have to be extra careful with my actions and that's true since your child would emulate your actions and even your words as they grow up. When you become a mom and start your family, your priorities change. All of a sudden all the things that seem so important when you're single suddenly becomes trivial. It changes you and the responsibility you have is never-ending. Imagine a life depending on you? It's not an object, it's a life. What a miracle, indeed. You want the best for your kid's future, his welfare and well-being. You work hard to provide him with his needs and the best education possible.

When you're a mom, you love your child with all your heart. Yes it is stressful, crazy and tiring but the reward is priceless. Just by hearing your child's laughter and being showered by hugs and kisses gives you inexplicable joy and happiness beyond words. :)
