10 Things Your Mother Never Told You by Ezedon(m): 8:35pm On Mar 31, 2016
10 Things Your Mother Never Told You…
Warning! This Will Leave You In Tears!
When you read these ten secrets that your
mom most likely never told you, you will find
yourself in tears by the end of the article…
1. You often made her cry.
You made her cry when she found out that she
was pregnant. She cried when she gave you
food. She cried the first time she held you in her
arms… She cried with joy. She cried because
she was scared. She cried because of the
countless nights without sleep. She still cries
because she loves you so much. She cried
when you cried.
2. She wanted the last cookie..
But when she saw you sitting there with your
big eyes looking hungry she simply couldn’t
say no to you. Because whenever you were
happy, she was happy.
3. It hurt…
It hurt when you pulled her hair. It hurt when
you grabbed her skin with your long nails. It
hurt when she breastfed you and you bit her. It
hurt when you kicked and punched her. It hurt
her so much when she was carrying you for 9
months and it hurt even more when she gave
birth to you. But she never told you; because all
she wanted was for you to be happy.
4. She was always afraid..
Right from the moment you were born, she did
everything in her power to protect you. She
became the woman who turned down her
friends when they asked to hold you, because
she felt that no one in the entire world could
hold you as safe and secure as she could. Her
heart skipped a beat when you took your first
steps. She stayed up all night just to make
sure you got home safe, and she woke you up
in the morning so you could go to school. Every
time you got hurt, she was the first one to help
you.. And every time you were sick, she stayed
home just to be with you and to make sure that
you were okay. She tries her best to protect
you and she always will..
5. She knows that she isn’t perfect.
She is tough on herself.. She knows all her
flaws, and sometimes she hates herself for it.
But the toughest times are when it’s about
you.. She wanted to be the perfect mom, and
not make any mistakes – but it is only human
to fail which she did sometimes. She still tries
to forgive herself for the mistakes she made..
She wishes, with all of her heart, that she could
go back in time and fix these mistakes, but she
cant. So be good to her, and let her know that
she did her best and that you appreciate it..
6. She was watching you while you were
sleeping.
At some point, she sat up all night just to
watch your beautiful face while you were
sleeping. When you couldn’t fall asleep she
sang a song for you. Even though she was tired
herself she stayed up just to make sure you fell
asleep. When you finally fell asleep, she stayed
up for a little bit longer, just to look at you. She
enjoyed the quietness and she watched how
your face expressed more love than possible.
7. She carried you for way more than a few
months…
She learned to carry you while cleaning. She
learned to carry you while cooking, while she
cleared the dinner table and while she washed
the dishes. She carried you all the time, she
even carried you while sleeping. Her arms were
tired, her back hurt. Her body went through a
lot of changes, just for you. But when you came
into this world, she knew it was all worth it.
When she held you in her arms, she was
happy..
8. She was sad when you cried..
Nothing hurt as much as when you cried. There
was no sight that hurt her more, than watching
you run away with tears down your face.. She
did everything to make you happy again, and
when it didn’t succeed, it hurt her..
9. You were always first!
She hadn’t had any food all day. She didn’t
shower for the last two days. She only slept 5
hours the last two days. She always put you
first. When she got home from work and mostly
felt like sleeping, she always took care of you
first. If you were hungry, she made you food. If
you were sad, she talked with you. She did
anything in her power to keep you happy, and
she always chose you before herself..
10. She would do it all over again..
Being a mother is the toughest job in the world.
You cry, it hurts, you try, you fail, you work and
you learn. But you also feel more joy than you
thought was possible. The joy you feel when
you see your child happy beats everything.
Despite all the pain, sleepless nights and the
early mornings, she would still do it all over
again, just for you.
I dedicated this piece of write to my late mom, Even in my next world Mama, you will always be my Mother.
