My mother called me last Sunday during celebration of the mother’s Day in Spain yes she live in Madrid, to greet me and my sister a Happy Mother’s Day. I soon realized that yes I’m a mother for 4 years now and I found this poem which describe a mother’s life. But after all the hardships of giving birth, diaper changing, sickness and sometimes day seems like impossible especially when you are in grocery counter after a day in the kindergarten and the candies and chocolates are just just within reach even by a 4 year kid I’m still happy to be a mom. I feel whole and appreciated when my son tells me every time he has a chance but he makes it sure to tell me before he’s going to sleep and when he wakes up ” Mor, du er den bedste i hele verden” Mother, you are the best in the whole world. Now he’s into drawing and I will post one of his ever first drawing with my smiling face and my name and I was smiling when I found another piece with may name and my age and MOR (mother) just before he sleeps he gave me one with all the numbers of buses and train so I know where and what to take. 
See how thoughtful my son is. I remember my mother used to tell me then that the only way We the children or maybe women can pay the hardships of our mother is by giving birth and rasing your own children and now we’re quits no, I don’t think so I only got one she has 5. I love Mom “happy Mother’s Day.
To my Nany, Lola, aunties,friends and to all mothers Happy mother’s day. I found this poem in the net unfortunately I forgot where was it from so I can indicate my source. I dedicate this poem because it describe how motherhood change us to something even better.

Before I was a Mom
I made and ate hot meals.
I had unstained clothing.
I had quiet conversations on the phone.Before I was a Mom,
I slept as late as I wanted
And never worried about how late I got into bed.
I brushed my hair and my teeth everyday.Before I was Mom
I cleaned my house each day.
I never tripped over toys or forgot words of lullabies.Before I was a Mom
I didn’t worry whether or not my plants were poisonous.
I never thought about immunizations.Before I was a Mom
I had never been puked on
Pooped on
Spit on
Chewed on
Peed on
Or pinched by tiny fingersBefore I was a Mom
I had complete control of:
My thoughts
My body
And my mind.
I slept all night.Before I was a Mom
I never held down a screaming child
So that doctors could do tests
Or give shots.
I never looked into teary eyes and cried.
I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin.
I never sat up late hours at night watching a baby sleep.Before I was a Mom
I never held a sleeping baby just because I didn’t want to put it down.
I never felt my heart break into a million pieces
When I couldn’t stop the hurt.
I never knew that something so small
Could affect my life so much.
I never knew that I could love someone so much.
I never knew I would love being a Mom.Before I was a Mom
I didn’t know the feeling of having my heart outside my body.
I didn’t know how special it could feel to feed a hungry baby.
I didn’t know that bond between a Mother and her child.
I didn’t know that something so small
Could make me feel so important.Before I was a Mom
I had never gotten up in the middle of the night every 10 minutes to make sure all was okay
I had never known the warmth
The joy
The love
The heartache
The wonder
Or the satisfaction of being a Mom.I didn’t know I was capable of feeling so much before I was a Mom.

That poem is so right on the dot…you know, there were so many things I never thought about until I became a mom myself. And then there’s this sense of unconditional love I learned to give back (even though I had a dog that already showed me that). Motherhood has a way of making a woman’s life more meaningful. Nothing compares to it. Kudos to you and all mothers out there who are doing an awesome job at being moms!!!

@Liggy it\’s a little bit to reply t your comment but your right one good thing about motherhood is give something back enough with me me me but now we\’re capable to give something to our children without expecting something in return.
