For The World's Greatest Mum

How have I been?

I have been through all the phases there are....
In the past weeks, I have been moody, I have been happy, I have been very happy, I have been sad, I have cried, I have felt so unloved, so lonely, so miserable. I have felt foolish, stupid and everything that you can imagine. I find myself in deep tears while praying. I find myself laughing out loud sometimes for no reason. Then I cry when I listen to some songs.

Never try listening to Toni Braxton when you are hurting and smarting from a breakup, you can as well just stab yourself and watch yourself bleed to death. lol. It wasn't easy but the time off was surely worth it.

Coming back today was basically because of my mum. It is mother's day todayin the UK and of cos I remember how strong she has been in the face of trouble, for me and for my siblings. Mummy, this is for you!


Mummies are the bum!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When you were 1 year old she fed and bathed you and the best way to thank her was by crying all night long.

When you were 2 she taught you to walk and you paid her back by running away when ever she called.

When you were 3 , she made all your meals with love but you thanked her by tossing your plate on the floor!

When you were 4, she gave you crayons but you thanked her by coloring the white sofa in the living room.

When you were 5, she got you all dressed up for that party but you thanked her by spilling drinks on it before the party.

When you were 6 she walked you to school, you thanked her by screaming ''I AM NOT GOING''.

When you were 7 she bought you a base ball, but well you thanked her by throwing it through the next door neighbour's window. Very cool....

When you were 8 she bought you ice cream, you thanked her by dripping it over your clothes.

When you were 9 she paid for your piano lessons, you thanked her by never even bothering to practice.

When you were 10 she drove you all day, from soccer to gymnastics and from one party to another. You thanked her by jumping outta the car and never looking back.

When you were 15, she came from work looking for a hug but you thanked her by locking your door.

When you were 20, she asked if you were seeing any one else but you thanked her by saying it is none of her business.

When you were 24 she met your fiance and asked about your plans for the future and you growled muuu-ther please.

When you were 25 she paid for your wedding , she cried and told you how deeply she loved you.You thanked her by moving halfway across the country.

When you were 30 she called with some advice in regard to the baby, you thanked her by saying that things a different now.

When you were 40 she called you to remind you of a relatives birthday but you thanked her by saying you were really ''busy''.

When you were 50 she fell ill, and needed you to take care of her, you thanked her reading out the burden that parents become to their children.

And then one day she quietly died and everything you never did came crashing down like thunder on you.

If she is still around, never forget to love her more than ever....
If she is passed on, never forget her love for you.

You can only have one mother in your life time........................


HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice Post. How True. I know my own mum was long suffering and I didnt really reciprocate cos Daddy was my 'main man'. she used to tease me I loved Daddy more than her. Now I cant show her how much I love her cos she's no longer here.

God Bless all mommy's out there - Happy Mother's Day (belated) to you all.
