My mama

I know it is a little late in the day for this wish, but better late than never…right. I think motherhood is one of the most important tasks in the world. It is one of the jobs that you can honestly say you get to put someone’s else’s needs first before your own and truly mean it.

I recently came back from a trip in Tanzania. I got to spend time with my family and it was great. After all these years and the growing up, you would think my mother would stop  worrying about my well being, but she still had the same look she gave me when i was  13 years old and getting ready for boarding school.

That woman was always on her toes trying to make me feel comfortable. She made sure my boys and myself had breakfast, lunch, snack and dinner on the table everyday. She would wake up early in the morning and make Julian and Eli’s meals, just the way they liked them.

Who else would do that herself, even though there was a live in maid, but a mother. I love this woman with every bone in me. She could be sick, but she would still get up and take care of all of us. She still doesn’t get to take any days off, no matter how much we beg her to. So for her and all the mothers out there who put all their family needs before their own, who love all their children unconditionally, who don’t get a thank you or a break as often as they should…I salute you. I want to encourage you to keep on going strong. I loved seeing the look on my mama’s face, the worried, caring look. I am a mama myself, but it felt great being and feeling like the child once more.

Happy mother’s day mama!

Love you, always.
