I
am a mother of three children. I
have graduated from just being Mother to now being Grandmother.
As
a mother I loved communicating,
doing things together with my babies and watch every step of their growth.
Memories of their first cry, holding them in my arms, feeding, bathing,
changing nappies, seeing their eye focus, hearing this first vocal sound are
all so vivid in my memories. I loved to sit on the floor with them and build a cushion chair
protection to help them sit up and in no time they would be on their stomachs
taking the first move towards crawling. The furniture would be moved around to
keep them ample space and in no time they are standing holding onto chairs and
with a little help from mother’s hand the first baby steps are taken to free movement.
I loved to
teach them ball games, swimming, riding bicycles, play with plaster of paris
and mould objects, scribble and draw on
paper. I taught
them to love the outdoors, appreciate nature and animals and I loved to see
those eyes open up when they picked their first flower or pulled up weeds not
to mention holding a puppy or kitten. I always had to do the bedroom inspection as you would
always find the little pet has been smuggled into the bedroom.
I have always wanted to
follow up the children in all their school activities, meet the teachers,
volunteer where needed. I volunteered for sports tea duties and enabled me to
watch the children at play and at the same time learn about the game rules.
What more can a mother ask for than to Thank Our Lord for guiding her children
and their families.
