Children came and showered my Mother's Day with their sweet smiles. They gave me tight hugs from tiny arms and big hearts, and cards made out of construction paper and funny drawings...
And it felt wonderful and rewarding, one of the greatest gifts I could've ever wished for... Motherhood teaches so many things, some we had never even envisioned before becoming mothers. We learn to grow and how to be kids again. Motherhood exalts us and drives us down to our knees. It shines the sun in our hearts. And it loses count of sleepless nights with tiny infants in our arms.
And yet...
As I rejoice at being a mother, I think of all the beautiful women who never had the privilege to become one. And suddenly I feel loud, inconsiderate and selfish in a way. I wonder about the women who could be wonderful mothers...
...women with hearts of gold, women who hope...
...women who wait and find strength in their hope...
...women who love and make a difference in other people's lives.
I hold a sun ray in my hand, and funny colored cards, with simple drawings of clinging tightly to a shining heart.
And I give them all to you, the beautiful women much stronger than me!
