Do you know that MOM flipped upside down is the word WOW! Whether this is a coincidence or not, when you do reflect on what it means to be a MOM, and everything that being a Mom entails, the word WOW is very appropriate.
Mom is an informal term for Mother. Moms are also referred to in places all over the world as Ma, Mum, Mummy, Mama, Mae, Mommy, Mater, Mamma, Mammy and much more. Whether you are called Mom or Mommy, Ma or Mama, mothers around the world are respected for the important role that they play in raising our children.
When you decided to become a Mom, I’m pretty sure that you were not fully aware of what it would be like. You probably didn’t realize what an incredible connection that you would have with your child, as it is like no other relationship that you have with any other human being. The love that you have for your significant other, or even your own Mother, is not the same as the love that you have for your child.
Not every Mom experiences this love for their child off the bat, but once they get to know their child this love continues to grow. As a Mother you become selfless as your maternal instinct kicks in, and there is nothing that you wouldn’t do for your child.
Your role as Mom is to care for and protect your child. Unless you are down right neglectful, you need not question your ability as a Mom. As long as you follow your motherly intuition and are there for your child, you can take pride in knowing that you are fulfilling your duty as a Mom. Your child will sense the love that you have for them and will feel very secure knowing that Mom is, and will always be there for them.
Not that you need reminding of all that you do, however it does need to be acknowledged. Happy Mothers’ Day to all of you MOMs. WOW, you deserve to have an incredible day!
