A MOTHER'S LOVE, IRREPLACEABLE

A MOTHER'S LOVE, IRREPLACEABLE.

"My dear, my child, please, don't go, come back, he's your father and just wants what's best for you, don't walk out on me". These are words I unknowingly eavesdropped when I happened to pass behind someone's window one evening. These words, I thought to myself are filled with a mixture of pain and love. Words which doesn't come out of just anyone's mouth. Words spoken by a female and I thought, if not a mother, who else would speak such words.

Growing up, I was and I still am a witness to several homes where parents exist and each has a way of bringing up their children. Should there be the absence of one parent, the other takes it upon him or herself to see to it that the children hardly lack anything.

In the course of bringing up a child, since one is never perfect, mistakes are sure to be made but in it all, it is just for the good of the children.
Everyone on earth has a woman in his or her life. Not just any woman but one woman who inspite of everything, will just want to see her children smile. Should there be instances where one feels ill-treated , the mere fact of having carried you for nine solid months and seen to it that you come on earth in one piece is enough proof that someone has more than just "mouth-love" for you.

There are instances where in a family, a particular child brings much headache but even amidst all these, a mother decides to show much love. Not to spoil the child more as some might say,but to try correcting the child with love.

Being privy to a happening of a couple, I choose to share their story.
Married at a young age, both man and woman found it difficult to make ends meet but with hope that everything will be fine, they stuck together. Then came instances where their first two children were taken ill. Sickness hardly known to anyone and they had to resort to going to different hospitals and prayer camps. Much resources were lost, fights came as a result of frustration but the mother stood firm saying " it will all end good" . Life still goes on and things begin to turn well, the children became well and they were even added on with two other siblings. Amidst all these, the mother will just do anything to see that her children are comfortable and this she did inspite of all hardships that were encountered and she still is encountering them. Prayer is what she resorts to and bit by bit she still holds in to "it will all end good".

I chanced on a video which talks of several things mothers will do just to see that their children don't suffer same fate as theirs. Things people will normally not do is what they find themselves doing all to see their children feel comfortable.  Should there be instances where an issue comes up, some fathers out of frustration might give up on the children but it is never so with mothers. The hustle and tussle of pregnancy alone is enough to always give a standing novation to mothers but that alone, is even an  infinitesimal display as to what they go through afterwards.

One could go on and on about what a mother will do but it just is unending. Words are never enough to express a mother's love. Some might have lost their mothers but memories alone are good enough to hold on to. Never for once think a mother is comfortable to see her children suffer. Some may act strong-willed in the presence of their children but accidentally budge into their rooms or sneak in on them and you'd realize they are always lost in thoughts just on how to provide much more for their children. A mother's love is and will always be irreplaceable, never for once think vile about a mother. Should there be instances where out of anger or frustration something painful has been uttered, words spoken are hardly retrieved but an apology and a genuine changeover is good enough to get back into a mother's good braces.
To all mothers, a grenade can't be caught for you, planes cannot just be jumped off for you but in subtle ways, you will be forever cherished.
