The unending connection

It is funny how a cord that connects a mother to a child is cut for the child to survive on its own.

The cord which was its live source for nine months and its finally out in this world but it doesn't stop there even after the umbilical cord has been cut, There's still a strong connection between mother and child which is more stronger than the Cord.

As the child grows wiser he knows where to turn to when a stranger carries him, when he is hungry, when he is uncomfortable and much more.

The child grows to seek support from the mother when he is about to venture into a new thing.

Even though some children tend to be closer to their dad the connection between them and their mother is still intact.

A mother is a rare gem in every way we are an extension of our mothers and no matter what kind of mother we have there is no one who will take her place. There's still that part of her in you and you are still a part of her.

She'll be there for you when you call she's not just that old woman at home that understands, she is that woman that is begging to be part of your life, don't shut her out because there's no one on earth that would ever love you like your mother.

Have you ever taught what you would be if she had aborted you? Take a break visit your mother and let her know how much you love her.

You can have so many fathers but you can have only one mother. Only one belly button is a reminder of where you survived from before you were given birth to.

Make peace with your mother so that tomorrow you won't say I wish I had spent more time with her. Tell her now "mummy I love you."
