NEOXIAN CITY PROMPT 2 : LOVE ARE MOTHERS

Whenever love is being mentioned the first thing that comes to my mind are mothers.

"Who sat and watched my infant head when sleeping on my craddle bed and tears of affectionate shed? My mother.

A mother's love is so pure, powerful and undiluted.I can tell you that there is no such love in the world like a mother's love. No wonder mother's day is being celebrated more than once in a year.

"When pain and sickness made me cry,who gazed upon my heavy eyes and wept for fear that i should die? My mother"

When i lost my mother, i entered a grief that only God himself brought me out from. It is the greatest sorrow a soul can ever pass through.

I was talking with a friend two days ago about parents disowning their children because maybe they turned out bad in the society. He said its possible that a father can disown his child but a mother can never do that no matter how bad or irredeemable the child has gone.He said a father can ban his child from entering his house but a mother would always welcome him but inside her heart she would be grieving and begging God to redeem that child of her's.

Mothers make ultimate sacrifices for their children that even the child's lover won't make. There was a tweet i saw four days ago in the internet where a man bragged that he left his family in the bid to find peace. He is now one year in his second marriage and claimed to have found peace. The tweet went viral and the first wife saw it and told her own side of the story.

Turned out the man left because they had an autistic child. She is now left alone to take care of the child.

A mother's love is selfless. When a marriage is not working again, a mother would be thinking about her children first and they dedicate their lives in giving their children a stable life whereas husband's concern most times is looking for another woman.

A mother carries the family spiritually. She prays sometimes not for herself but for her husband and children. Some gave up their careers to be able to see to the care of their families. Some sacrificed the first ten years of their marriage mending the home front and go back to work when their last baby is of age.

I thought i was the only one that entered a depressed kind of grief when my mother passed on until i met this young lady that had been on medication since her mother died seven years ago. When she told me about her grief, i just knew that mine was just a spec. Even in death her mother still provides for her. Hear her...

There is this day i was crying deeply because i wasn't able to pay my school fees and its going to affect my examination. I cried myself to sleep and my mother appeared to me in a dream. She told me that she would send someone to bring money for me. Two days later i got a phone call from my mum's colleague in the office and she told me to come and claim my mother's gratuity.

Ever since i became a mother myself, i know that there is absolutely nothing that I won't do for my girls.

I am spoiling them with so much love that they would have overflow to share to the world for the world needs genuine Love of one another.

So this valentine i am celebrating all mothers round the world. As you give out your all to the world, don't forget to love and take care of yourselves too.
