Whats in a word?
The word MOTHER is a small word that is the definition of amazing. seemingly simple. Two syllables summed up, that actually represent all the emotions that a human being is capable of experiencing. Being disoriented and captivated by. Bestowing great strengths to the title holder. Amazing grace. And untamed love. The horrors, honors, pleasures and pains of the world. Someone never truly acknowledged, but a life fully rewarding and gratifying. All this lays in the experience that is parenthood. It is seductively confusing and never-ending. A ride that seems broken yet refuses to stop, but given the chance you would never get off. Surprising and out of control. Yet, predicatively mundane. The greatest invention to have been made. Thank you to my own for creating another member to travel in the labyrinth with. A titled legacy, the power of knowing that without us, it would all cease to exist. One simple word that tries to embody all of that. Something said in different ways, conveys different emotions, needs and purpose. sweetly, suffering, superb, yet always the same. Whether a call to arms against the middle of the night call. A need to defend, a moment of fear when lost down an isle, or to just give a hug. Babble from a baby, or the first word. The best one of all is the one that comes out the blue. No stings (or wanted toys) attached, to just say.. "MOMMY, I love you". When you realize that ,when your child was born you grew another heart. How else do you love someone so much? Its all worth it when you hear that simple yet, powerful word they call you.
