The realest joy about being a mother is knowing that there is someone in my life that loves me unconditionally and will love me that way forever.
Immense happiness comes from knowing that to my daughter, I am the greatest person ever, as her superhero, to guide and protect her every step of the way.
Knowing that I have someone looking up to me also keeps me grounded as she constantly holds me accountable for my words and actions, ensuring that I live my life in such a way that will make her proud to say, that’s my mom! This too is a real joy.
When you become a mother, your life completely changes in ways you could never imagine. Sometimes it can be challenging but most of the time it is filled with the absolute best times of your life. The world as we know it moves at a mile a minute and often you can feel overwhelmed with all the things you have to do. However, being a mother at some point will force you to slow down and put things into perspective making you understand what is important.
I always wanted a daughter, a mini-me and that’s exactly what I got, a best friend that I can make amazing memories with and share a great laugh, especially at times when we are alone together and get to talk about everything. The happiness that comes from these moments cannot be replaced. There is no other love as pure as the love from your child/children and there is nothing else in the world that can bring you this joy and make your life complete.
