Momma's Love❤️

Sometimes I ask myself where would I be without my Mama's love. What would I have been today without her loving care? The answer to my questions still remains, "Nothing".

I think back to the time when I was learning how to feed myself (not like I remember anyway), how she would sit me on that little baby chair and watch me fight with the food. How she cleaned up the mess I had made after hours of trying to feed myself. Now I can hold my spoon and eat without much mess (she still scold me for messing up the dining table😍)

She always had me do things by myself as a kid. She would say, "learn it now or it would be hard when you become older". Today, I can proudly say that I can do a lot of things perfectly for myself both careerwise and otherwise.

You never believed in sparing the rod. I tasted of the spanking from those shoes. It taught me never to approach the meat in the pot without thinking twice. I learnt to stay away from fighting with that neighbors child. The fear of not taking what does not belong to me was all instigated with the wave of a slippers. The fear of Mama's spanking was the beginning of all wisdom😂

Mother would never let me go hungry. Of what use was the pretty wrappers in the market when her baby was there. I came first to mama. Was it my health? The sleepless nights she kept nursing me when I suddenly fall ill in the middle of the night. She would rather stay by her baby's side to show love and attention than be out with her friends.

All you went through for me as a kid will never be forgotten. Even now as an adult, you still go that extra mile to show your affection. A thank you would never be enough to express my gratitude. To thank you for your prayers and support would never be enough.

What makes you happy is seeing that your labor was not in vain. That the spankings, scoldings, and prayers for me and my siblings were not in vain. One thing I promise you is that your efforts will never be and can never be in vain.

I pray to God everyday to keep that beautiful smile on your face. That smile I always see on your face whenever we have done something to make you proud. May he continue to keep you for me and my siblings.

You will live long enough to reap the fruits of your labor in our lives. May you live to see is train our own kids. You will never know the joy you will bring to me when I watch you hold your great grand children.

Thank you for being the world best mum. Happy Mother's Sunday love💖💖
