I had never cherished my mom so much till i became a mom. I think nobody does. Mom's are the super heroes of all time. superman really? What realistically does he do? Spider man? save people? That's a cops' job.
There's many types of moms, Working moms, Stay- at- home moms, Part-time-working moms, Young and old moms. Grandma's that become moms, it never ends. But all in all all kinds of moms are heroes. I think.
Mom is a full time job, and sometimes overtime job. Never stops.
As soon as your baby is born something comes over you that makes you feel love and protection over that tiny little being. As time passes by that love grows like a seed,little by little and it becomes huge, ginormous like a tree. more like an oak or cedar tree.
I sometimes ask myself how can i feel so much love for someone i have only known for a year ( when it takes me a while to even like someone like extended family I've known for years) but it's so much like me in so many ways physically and emotionally and i carried her inside me and to think i was so nervous and anxious before i had her. Fear to the unknown of how to provide and take care of a tiny human being.
Sophie is my tiny human whom i adore with all of my heart.
So i officially declare ALL moms Super heroes.
For taking their lives and putting them aside for a few years and dedicating them to their tiny ones who someday will be as grateful as I am to my superhero (My Mom) for all those sleepless, tired, sick nights and days she endured through to watch over me and even in my early teens when i was sick, she would cook for me and make me feel like a million bucks again.
Even if we are tired, sick, sad, depressed, fatigued, our job doesn't have a day off or paid leave, most of the time it is never paid, except by hugs and tiny kisses from sticky/dirty little lips.
It's amazing to think that i have the power to make her feel all better with a hug and kiss when she falls or bumps her head with the door, or feels terribly sick with a fever. How amazing is that. Making her feel safe when even I do not feel safe.
I have had to take Sophie to the doctor many times by myself, sometimes late at night and give her her medicine that she hates, feed her when she does not want to eat, bathe her so her fever goes down, rock her and sleep by her crib so she feels safe at night. Cook something when i don't feel like it so she eats a healthy meal, feed, bathe and play with her even if i feel horribly sick. That's Love. Unconditional Love.
To all the superhero moms out there.
My Favorite Moms! I love them!
