We often take our Mum’s for granted, choosing to either ignore – or simply not see – the numerous sacrifices they continually make to aid us in living a better life.
They ask for nothing and yet give us everything.
Just because they just want us to feel good about ourselves.
Happy.
Safe.
Content.
Comfortable.
As we grow up … develop … they are always there, looking on.
Living in a state of quiet, constant conflict.
There’s the undeniable sense of pride as the see us take bigger and bolder steps into the big, bad world …
But it’s always mirrored by a quiet sense of concern that along the way, we might experience or endure a pain that they can’t instantly whisk away.
With a kiss, a hug, a word or a plaster.
Mothers don’t want us to hurt.
Their protective instinct never fades.
They constantly and continually want the best for us and they’re selfless in that goal.
So next time you complain she’s treating you like a child, stop for a moment and remember this isn’t about annoyance, it’s about love.
And we’d be nowhere without them.
So thank you Mum.
For everything.
