This isn’t a popular opinion and some might call me crazy for making motherhood my full-time job at such a young age. But, I truly believe that I have the greatest career and instead of forcing me to give up my dreams and goals, being a mother has only enhanced all my abilities and efforts to be my best self. You truly can have it all. This is for all the mothers in the world who give 100% no matter what age they are, no matter what people say, and no matter the sacrifice. And, special thanks to my own mother who taught me what it means to be a mom, I hope one day to be as good a mother to my children as you are to yours. This one is for you.
You know what Mom?
They all told you that you could have been a teacher, with your gift of language, and way with words. They all told you that you could have been a musician; no one made the piano sing as you did. They all told you that you could have got a master’s, doctorate, and PhD; brains like yours don’t come to everyone. They all told you that you could change the world with the way you share service and organize events. They all told you that you could write novels that would hit the New York Times bestsellers list. They all told you that you could travel the world, meeting people and seeing sights very few people are privileged to see.
And you could have.
But you didn’t.
You just looked back at them and with a firm resolution in your eyes (and faith in your heart) you pushed away all those dreams and told them, “I’m going to be a mother.”
And they laughed.
They laughed at the thought that someone so beautiful and so wise would give up so much to stay up late with a sick child, to never wear a clean shirt again, to have messy hair and tired eyes, and premature wrinkles, and worn hands.
But you let them laugh.
Because you knew.
You knew that there was something more to life than meeting presidents and hosting grand events. You knew that singing lullaby’s meant more than watching opera’s and holding a hand was worth more than holding a trophy.
But there was something you didn’t know.
Not then.
But I knew it, I know it still, and I’ll always be reminded of it, no matter how old I get or where I live. And as crazy as it sounds that I, some silly girl who has only been on this earth for only a relatively short time might know something then this smart, amazing woman who I call mother doesn’t make much sense.
But it’s true.
I know something you didn’t know when you told the world no.
I knew that at that moment when you gave up so much to do such a hard and lowly thing as “dare be a mother”, up in heaven a little girl rejoiced. Because she didn’t need to worry about coming to earth anymore. God found her someone who would keep her safe, and bring her back to him. He found this girl someone who would love her so much that she would give her life for her if it was necessary.
But that is not all.
You know what else you didn’t know?
You didn’t know that there would be sleepless nights when you would have to engage all your strength to keep your eyes open so you could hold a shaking child who just had a bad dream. You didn’t know you might have to go without that piece of the pie, so my tummy would be filled. You didn’t know that you would watch me fail, again and again, not knowing how to help me. You didn’t know you would suffer with me through every mistake. You didn’t know that with every tear you wiped, every hug you gave, and every word you whispered that you would be shaping me, molding me, and teaching me.
But above all. You didn’t know that you really didn’t give up all your dreams like they said you did. Because you are a teacher and I speak, read, and write because of you. You are a musician, the reason music rings through every fiber of my soul. You write a novel, with every story you told me. You have a master’s, doctorate, and Ph.D. in what matters in life. You have traveled the world fighting dragons, conquering cities, and saving lives with me. You did organize countless events and activities and thousands benefited. You might not have changed THE world, but you changed MY world, by giving me all the love, dedication and lessons I would ever need to be happy.
So while they may laugh at the choice you made so long ago. You can stand with your head held high. Because they might not know it. But you, me, and God know that you not only did all those things they said you would not do if you became a mother, but you did more.
To be the daughter of such an amazing woman is the biggest blessing of my life. I will forever be indebted to you for giving me life and every opportunity in life.
Thank you for being so strong and knowing your divine calling in a world that laughed.
A beautiful tribute to your mom, and lovely qualities to aspire to. 🙂 I love being a mom, and my three children are my greatest treasures… even though they are grown and my youngest is 19, I'll always be grateful for all they have taught me and helped me to learn… and I'm told the best is yet to come, as I can't wait to be a grandmother. Thanks for your beautiful writing.

I adore this post. When I returned to work full-time after having babies, ever fiber in my body felt like I was doing something wrong because the most… the MOST important job so suddenly became motherhood. I still fight daily to find a way to afford being a stay-at-home mom because I know how vital that role really is for my kids. Thanks for writing what is unpopular, but oh-so-true.
That must be really hard! I feel very blessed to stay home with my baby, I don't know if I would have the strength you do to go to work every day. The way you sacrifice for them shows so much love, and I know they will be grateful to you for showing them that love despite not being able to stay home all the time. I admire people like you!
aw I love this! I can't wait to be a mom!
Thank you! And you are seriously the cutest mom!
Just got done reading your modesty post, click over and this pic..sorry I call FOUL. modest covers the knee, read the old testament writings on the wearing of certain articles of clothing that involve covenant making..will seek my reading material else where sorry..Disppointed
I absolutely love reading your blog. When are you going to post again?
For the past 5 months, I have tried 3 to 4 different spell caster, but none was able to help me, they rejected me for no reason. Because of the nature of my case, I kept trying until I met Dr. Wakina through: dr.wakinalovetemple@gmail.com to see if he is going reject me like others. He accepted to help me rebuild my broken home and restore peace to my family. I and my boyfriend were always fighting and quarrelling in front of our kid, about the lack of time he spends with me, he told me he was DONE with the relationship, he warned me to leave him alone and never search for him. We have been through so many things, and I felt like we been trying too hard to let go now.
After seeing wonderful reviews about Dr. Wakina and also lucky to know him as a person, I regretted ever wasting my time when the love spell was finally cast and my boyfriend came back home, begging for forgiveness. Am one of the happiest woman on earth, it couldn’t have been possible without the help of Dr. Wakina’s Love Temple through: dr.wakinalovetemple@gmail.com
This article is dedicated to the Doctor Osemu Okpamen. I have been married with my wife for 5 years and recently she broke up with me and it hurt me deeply when she told me to leave her alone and that she does not love me anymore when i was always faithful and honest to her. I tried all the ways to get her back buying her what she wants like i always did and she still left me heart broken and she even has a new boyfriend which destroyed me even more until a friend of mine from high school directed me to this genuine spell Doctor called Osemu Okpamen. This man changed my life completely. I followed everything he told me to do and my wife came back begging for me back. I was stunned everything happened exactly like he told me.

My heart was filled with remorse and pain for the past 7 months when my husband ended our marriage and went to his EX lover because i was unable to give him a son. I was so devastated and almost committed suicide because of the love and affection i had for my husband. I searched and asked everyone i knew for help but all my efforts were useless not until i was refereed to Doctor Casera by Oliver who i met online that he could be of help to my marriage for he has helped her before. I got in touch with the Doctor and i poured out everything i had in mind to him and he encouraged me and promised to make me smile and make me live a better life by getting my husband back with his powers between just 24 hours. I believed in him and to my very eyes, my husband came on his knees pleading for forgiveness to come back and rectify his mistakes and today we are living with so much Joy and happiness.
