Every day being a mother is a happy day

I still remember clearly the moment I found out I was pregnant. After more than 2 years of marriage, the months of anticipation became endless. Watching the children around me grow up, I used to wonder: “When will I experience that feeling?” And when I saw 2 lines appear on the pregnancy test, my heart was filled with both surprise and happiness. Tears rolled down my cheeks, not because of fear, but because of sweet joy, a feeling of being given a responsibility, a priceless love. The whole world seemed to calm down, leaving only my heart fluttering because of a small creature gradually forming in my body.

In the early days of motherhood, I realized that this journey was not easy. The sleepless nights, holding my baby, worrying about every gesture, every breath, and remembering the work deadlines that were still piling up on the table, I thought I would collapse. But just seeing my baby sleeping soundly, hearing his steady breathing and seeing his little lips smiling in his dreams, all my fatigue disappeared. The love for my baby was like an invisible source of strength, supporting me through every difficulty, making me believe that nothing is impossible to overcome.

Before I had children, I was not good at cooking. Simple dishes sometimes made me confused, but with children, I began to learn and experiment with each dish, from the simplest to the more elaborate meals. The simple but profound happiness is when I see my child finish his meal, his eyes light up, his mouth smiling: "Mom, it's so delicious!". At that moment, I realized that love for children can make a person do things that previously seemed impossible. Being a mother helps me learn to be patient, to learn to put all my effort into things that seem small but are extremely important to my child.

Not only did she teach me how to cook, being a mother also taught me how to control my anger, how to listen and understand. There were times when my child was naughty and I got angry, but then I told myself to control myself, to understand my child better, and to learn to sympathize with his feelings. My child taught me that love is not always perfect, but if it is sincere, it will help both mother and child grow up together. Every time my child explains why he does something, I learn to be patient and respect his thoughts, even though they are sometimes immature and clumsy.

Time flies so fast. Looking back, my child is almost ten years old and has his own thoughts and reasons. Every time I talk to him, I learn to listen more, learn to let him express himself freely, and realize that every child needs to be understood. The moments when he runs to hug me after school, the innocent questions or the honest sharing about that day, make me feel happy and grateful because he has taught me many valuable things about life, about love and patience. Every time I see him play, see him smile brightly, my heart is filled with light, and I know that all the difficulties and fatigue of the past years are worth it, because that happiness is unique, irreplaceable.

My child, in just a few days you will be ten years old. I just hope that you can live peacefully, innocently and confidently. I don't need you to be the best, I just need you to be yourself, to know how to love and appreciate the simple things around you. For me, every day I get to be a mother is a happy day, a priceless gift that life has given me. No matter how old you are, always know that I will always be here, loving you, supporting you and accompanying you through every step. I love you!
