Of course I am addressing my message first and foremost to all the beautiful mothers out there. I know all too well about the endless challenges we are faced at times. But there is more in today's message:
I have lived myself through the fears of the unknown when I first became a Mum. And the fears of the unknown quickly transformed into the fear for my first baby's health and wellbeing as she spent a lot of her first year of life in hospital. And of course this worry about your child's wellbeing never goes away. Even when they are getting older, all you want to see, is them being healthy and well.
I have also lived through the guilt of taking my children away from their familiar environment, in particular their loving grand parents and aunties, uncles and cousins when we decided to migrate to Australia. At the time it felt the right thing to do to give our children a better future.
There was also the guilt of not having enough time for my children when they were growing up because we had to run a business for us to be able to stay in the country. And not only that: Too soon we put our daughter in charge to look after her little brother while we were at work. The consequences only showed later and I felt guilty about robbing her the innocence and playfulness of her childhood. At the time it seemed the right thing to do. And because of all these feelings of guilt I (we) made mistakes, trying to make up for what we could not offer to the children in the form of over compensating.
Another guilt I had to deal with, was the fact that I could not offer my children a peaceful environment as they were growing up. There were endless fights between their Dad and myself.
And of course, there was the guilt of leaving their Dad, separating our family! As hard and as important as it was for me to give rebirth to myself, as tragic and tough it was for the children.
That is only to mention a few of the challenges A Mum faces during motherhood. Of course, there is so many more. And you all are only too familiar with your own trials and tribulations.
BUT THERE IS MORE:
THIS MESSAGE IS FOR EACH AND EVERYONE AMONG YOU: YOU ARE THE CHILD OF A MOTHER!!!
My list of challenges is there for a reason: Today, I want you to become aware of the fact, that you have a MOTHER, who loves you dearly and most importantly who has given you the gift of LIFE. If it was not for your mother, you would not exist and you would not be able to read my message.
No matter, what has happened between you and her in the past, today is the day to say, 'THANK YOU MOTHER' and to FORGIVE.
I know that there is some of you who were given to adoption as babies, who might think that your mother didn't love you. And this thought has haunted you and still is haunting you for the rest of your lives, unless you make a conscious decision today, to FORGIVE YOUR MOTHER. Because, let me tell you this: You have not idea how hard the circumstance might have been, for your mother to make this decision. She did what was the only way out for her in that particular moment. And she might suffer all her life just like you. The guilt of what she has done might eat her up on the inside. Mothers always do what they think is best for their baby!!!
For the ones among you, who have had a huge fight with their mother and decided not to talk to her anymore: Say, 'THANK YOU' to her today and FORGIVE her. By forgiving her, you forgive yourself and you'll find peace in your heart again. Whatever your Mum did, she did out of love and because she did not know any better at the time.
For all of you lovely souls who have lost their Mum, I want you to find peace and comfort within yourselves. Your Mum is still there watching over you ALWAYS. Right now, she exists in another dimension that we can't see but I am sure that sometimes you can feel her around you because I get that feeling from my Dad sometimes. Then I start to cry remembering all the good times we had and knowing that he is there watching over me.
For the ones who are not with their Mum because they live too far away to physically be with them, make use of today's technology and connect via Internet or Phone and say nice words to your Mum. She will appreciate it and you both can feel how close you are in your heart. Connect through that beautiful bond that you share with your Mum. It is unique and very special and it becomes even stronger, the further away you are. And it is always there, forever and ever...
So, beautiful Mothers and Children of Mothers, HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY FILLED WITH HEARFELT ENDLESS FEELINGS OF LOVE!!!!!
Love,
Andrea
