This Mothers Day I sent my Mum flowers, and when she received them she texted “…they made my day”. Your own Motherhood is beyond anything I could have been capable of. You tower over by miles. Celebrations”. I had tears in my eyes; to be anointed like that by own Mum. I’ve thought about it ever since, about how we do THE BEST THAT WE CAN so that our children do the best that they can, and so it goes on. I thought about the cycle that goes forward – that must never go backwards. We take from our Mothers so we can give to our children – the cycle of unconditional love. Oftentimes life creates obstacles that make it hard to give as fully as we want or can… When I became a Mother I was able to appreciate my own Mum in a much more profound way, which is why her text was so moving to me. We are friends now, equals, sharing the experience of being Mothers. I am humbled by how she raised us, how she provided so much with relatively little when compared to the support I have. All my successes are an extension of her sacrifice and hard work – which is the extension of her Mothers… and on and on. One day I will write the same message to my daughters, that they ‘tower over by miles’. A beautiful thing.
