You Came To Change My Life
“You came to change my life.” Too many words or too few words, all mothers highlight this same detail about motherhood, a watershed moment in any woman’s life. No wonder, when you consider how habits are changed and hidden feelings that were believed to be non-existent are explored.
You came to change everything that was boring and dull by the light your eyes radiated the first time you looked at your mother. Filling the silence with her uncontrollable laughter, adding color to each day and perfuming each morning with a pleasant scent like no other.
And there they are, interfering with your life when you least expect it. However, they have the gift of arriving when you need them most in order to share their little world with your world.
You came to change the concept of love
Clearly, feeling love is one of the most wonderful gifts of every human being. And there’s a certain mix of instinct, soul, mind and heart when you feel your baby’s delicate skin, that little person you want to protect and give the best you can.
A woman’s love is really immense. Furthermore, it becomes sublime when it comes from the admiration and adoration for the child that you cradled in your womb throughout your pregnancy. By feeling its movements in the belly, every mother understands what unconditional love is.
No wonder. There is no greater affection than that which a mother feels for her child. When a woman sees her child for the first time, she understands what love at first sight really is and understands in depth what the miracle of life is all about.
Even when a child grows up to the point where he can no longer fit in his mother’s arms, he has all the remaining space within his heart available for indefinite periods. We let our child go out of reach of our body to accompany him wherever he goes.
You came to change my way of understanding happiness
When a child is born, life changes in such a way that parents are willing to change their habits and behaviors for the child’s happiness. They give up everything to put first this very special being capable of monopolizing all the sighs in the house.
Just seeing her child or thinking about him fills a mother’s heart with happiness and pride. Momma’s time is so fleeting that it passes before their noses in just the blink of an eye. Definitely, all the love received by this little being makes them the happiest people in the world.
You came to provide the best degree in the university of life
Without a doubt, you will become the role model. You will be your first heroine, teacher, trainer and guide. And the most valuable thing about any learning process that you engage in is that, beyond all success or failure, you will be part of the final product.
Nobody tells women how to be good mothers, nor do babies come with an instruction book that tells them what to do in each case. However, no mother doubts what she does because her instincts and heart will naturally tell her what is best for her child.
It doesn’t matter if the secret is to stop life every moment to dedicate yourself completely to this little being. Words will never be enough to describe the satisfaction of teaching the first steps, saying the first words, and so much more.
It doesn’t matter how much freedom or independence we had and perhaps sacrificed, nor all the time invested in any activity. The faculty of life teaches us that there is no better title than motherhood, in which we learn the true meaning of the word surrender.
All in exchange for a smile when you wake up. A blessing marked by the tenderness and innocence of the weakest person we’ve ever seen, and yet with a driving force capable of motivating many women to move on, to get up every morning, as well as being a motivation in difficult times.
