Motherly love ( Grand Love😘)

Good day readstars. This lovely Monday morning, am wishing everyone a happy brand new week. In all our work places, at school, business and wherever we are contributing positively to the society. May Blessings of the week fall on us all!..

This month of March has its amazing days of significance and one of them is the forthcoming mothering Sunday, which is in fortnight. A lovely and unique days for the mothers of the world. I celebrate you all in advance. I am not yet a mother but one day, ............................................... Amen!

Shout out to my lovely sponsors and friends..

Every woman is a mother! this is more than just a simple sentence. There is More to it. Mothers bring life and the world is what it is today because a woman gave birth to a girl who gave birth to a lady that gave birth to a woman that gave birth to you. It like a chain that connects every single head on this earth. All living things to say. We all came from a wonderful woman who through her we are alive and cohabiting with others today. Cheers to all women and mothers of the world. It indeed an honor to be a mother and a blessing to have a child.

In my Ibo Tribe of Africa, when a child is born and it a girl, we say that; "she gave birth to a wine taste" ( onu mmaya in the original language). We say so because the Ibos believe that every girl child will grow to bear another child and this is achieved through marriage. Therefore, the wine mouth is due to that the child will bring suitors and suitors will bring drinks/wine (mmaya) for them to drink.

If there were no mother, there possibly might be no now because some persons won't be here to read this post. Mothers pass from giving birth, raising the girl child who calls her mother, then the girl child marries and gives birth to another child who calls her mother's mom grandmother or simply grandma in a short call. From grandma to great grandmother and so on until she's no more. Even at death, they still remain mother on earth.

Mother of mothers are the best in the profession of motherhood. This is clear and I mean that grandmothers( mothers mother) carry out the motherly duty in a cool and different ways that makes the kids which are being cared for develop a much special love and affection for the grandmothers. Often times in most families. At the mention of grandma or announcing her arrival, everyone and mostly the kids are overexcited. She comes with the best gift and blessings. There is never a time she comes empty handed.

During my kiddy days, she's always my best friend. Whenever mom makes me cry due to the correction if my mistakes, grandma will be there to have my back. It true that mothers beats a child with one hand and draws the child back with another hand, thereby applying the rule of "stick and carrot" which says beat a child and draw the child back with another hand. Grandma in her elderly and sweet words will make the correction without using force or applying beating like some mom's in Africa would.

Elderly applies solutions with keen and smart thinking words are the ways of grandmothers. I was once jokingly asking a kid some questions about love for mom and grandma, I asked him; who cares for you? and he answered mom. Then I asked again; who cares a lot for you? he then answered grandma! lovely I responded, what does grandma does for you and he said she buys them the kids biscuits everytime she goes to the market. What an awesome reply...In some families, kids would always spend their holidays at grandma's place. They did so with joy and memories. Just like me and my siblings those days, we would always spend the holidays with her and sometimes we will. cry to see our mummy again. But still, the joy is there. Even when writing a comprehension about how I spent my holiday, it will always feature a holiday with grandma. A place of unlimited memories and free time playing around.

At home, mom teaches us alot about how to cook, groom well and take care of things and ourselves. I just can't imagine a family without a mother. It just so unimaginable to me even though some homes live without one. The role and place of mothers in homes and societies can't be mentioned. A very rare diamond is a mother. Mother of one, mother of all. Every female is generally a mother. Cheers to our special mothers of the world.
