ON MOTHERHOOD...

Blogger friend Earthlingorgeous wrote an entry that really caught my attention..."How will my child be able to survive when I am gone?" That's actually a typical question that would hit every mom on this planet.. or maybe even those from Mars or Venus or from the other galaxies... geez... Mother's worry even when their kids have already reached 50... I should know. I have witnessed how my grandmothers were to their kids... Although, Earth's concern is different, since her little girl is special. Still I know, such worry is common, whether our kids are diagnosed with a special need or so... So, I responded it with the comment below:

you know, as a mom, that is also my worry. It's really different when the child's mother is you... it's just so so different... like I remember a story about a mom whose child was kidnapped by bandits who fled to the mountains. The authorities, when it neared midnight already gave up the search and rescue operation, so what did the mother do? She climbed up the mountain all by herself... And up there, she bargained and pleaded, until the leader of the pack took pity on her and let the child go...

When they finally came down, everyone was amazed at how the mother could have done it. Her answer was simple... "I am this child's mother!"

Sharing it here because I know it's not only Earth and me who worry about our kids... I know most do, but with lots and lots of prayers, and FAITH....we mommies can be assured God's hand will be our guiding light...
