You deserve a gold plated trophy for carrying another human for a period of nine months…at your own risk.
For enduring the pain to bring forth the bundle of joy irrespective of the circumstance (natural birth, inducement or caesarean) …you deserve another trophy.
For all the sleepless nights and sleep-walking days you’ve experienced or are experiencing…another trophy
And the courage you had when the baby falls sick or when teething process emerges…another trophy
For the days you acted like a clown just to make your baby laugh…another trophy
For taking care of the home and the delicious meals you prepare for the family even when you were tired and not hungry…another trophy
For ensuring your children make the right choice in every area of life and giving right advice…another trophy
For being a true example and leader to all your children (biological and spiritual)…another trophy
Even if you are not married and you don’t have a wife, I believe you have a sister
And if you don’t have a sister, I am sure you have a mum…
Therefore, I crave your indulgence to give at least a trophy to the closest female to you today.
Happy Mother’s day.
