" She's here! What should I do with her? How am I going to do this? Where should I start from? Oh God, I can't. I just can't. She's cute but she's stuck with me now. I don't think I can do this."
Jay wouldn't stop lamenting. Her daughter has just been born. It was her first child. It wasn't an easy ordeal for her, but she didn't want to think about it. She's was protecting her mental health.
Her fears almost consumed her. Not until her baby was brought to be fed had she felt any connection.
The moment her baby latched to her breast, it was a different experience entirely. One she will never forget.
It felt like a message. One that said, "Hey mummy, I couldn't wait to do this with you. I am yours fully. I depend strongly on you. You are my mother and I know that. I wouldn't give up on you. I wouldn't let you go. I am here for you and I love you."
Words could not express how she felt. She saw her baby's helplessness. She saw her daughter's need of her. She understood what motherhood was at that moment in time.
A mother's love, none can fathom.
She forgot all about herself. Her daughter came first.
She would go the extra mile to ensure her daughter's comfort and good health.
The Joy of Motherhood is in constantly giving, giving all you can for your child. It's a job you don't resign from. Motherhood is love expressed in a special way.
"The moment a child is born, the mother is also born. She never existed before. The woman existed, but the mother, never. A mother is something absolutely new."
