Being a mother


IHM tagged me days back to do this. It took me longer than I expected, sorry IHM! Lets get on to it without any further delay!

I became a mom about 4 and a half years back to a lovely girl who instead of being a part of my life, well became my life.

I love being her anchor, all the time. She runs to me to share her ups as well as her downfalls. she looks forward to my opinion and tries to match up to my expectations. I love being such a VIP in some one's life.

I love those big hugs that she gives me when I am sad. "Mamma, don't worry I am with you" these words just bring the world to me. And then asks daddy "What did you do to mamma, she is sad. Go take care of her"

I love the fact that my hugs can take care of most of the problems she has.

I love being a mom to this girl who is turning out to be such a fashionista, she wants to have her own designing company. She will be my accomplice in crime in future!

I love being a mom when my husband when sees me in conversation with 4 year old and thinks, I got to learn those skills!

I love being a mom when my girl tells her teacher in school "my mum is the best chef in the whole wide world"

I love being a mom when I get those little thank you notes appreciating all I do for her.

I love being a mom when every single day makes me realize more and more worth of my own mom.

I love being a mom when saying bye at the school door, she says to me "I will come back to you, so be happy"
Motherhood feels great most of the times. It makes me introspect more on my weaknesses as well as strengths. I love being a mom when my 4 year old questions things that we take for granted and force us to think more and talk about those little big things. "what is inside our body that stores love? why was I born?"
I love being a mom when every night while coming out of her bedroom I say "good night, I love you" and she says "I love you too and you know my love will never finish up"
My heart swells with pride when my daughter stand up for herself and doesn't care much about the popular opinion and goes "But I like it"
I do miss my child free care free days but I would not trade my motherhood for anything. I love being a mom.
Last but not the least by any means, I love being a mom when I wish my mom A Very Happy Mother's Day and she says "to you too"

  1. Aww..! Nice post S. You are a great mommy and she is a great daughter. Keep enjoying. But don't get too attached and let her "become" your life.
    One day, you know what is happening to me now will happen to you, ie we have to let go. Trisha is sitting by me right now and we are watching CNN together, just talking but we can't do that after the end of August! :(

    Hugs to you. Love the picture too. I have one like that with a mother, son and a daughter. I put it on the front Foyer but my husband took it away to keep in the living room. Somebody is very J! ;P

    "I love the fact that my hugs can take care of most of the problems she has."

    I loved reading this tag.. could relate to every sentence and loved the one above, it's overwhelming .. this kind of trust!!

    It's so obvious from everything in your blog that you totally love being a mom... but I loved your last line of this tag...'when I wish my mom A Very Happy Mother's Day and she says "to you too"'

  3. @Asha- Isn't it so hard to think of your life outside of being a mother...letting go is one of the many skills I need to learn from my daughter :-)

    @IHM- I too loved doing this tag! Thank you!! being a mom is such a starry feeling :-)
