Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers and grandmothers.
Personal note: What makes you a mother?
Does it require a woman to push a child out of her womb to be a mother?
Or can she be a mother because she chose to love, care and accept that child as her own.
So many people wonder, but I always question their motives. What does it matter I say.
So many people ask, "Is that her child?" What is your response? I wonder. It hurts me that their question requires an explanation from you. The answer is clearly "Yes." The answer should never be "It's not hers... it's her husband's child."
Do you see how I treat him? Do you hear what I call him? MY SON! MY CHILD!
Do you hear what he calls me? In one sweet, little word ~ MOM! I am his mother.
God designed it to be so and it is not for anyone to question or wonder.
There are not STEPs to it. I don't accept it and I don't expect you to. He is your nephew, grandson, or cousin because he is MY SON, MY CHILD! Not step-son.
A child is not always born of you. Sometimes, in His infinite wisdom, you are given a child.
It's up to the person to accept or not accept that responsibility. I've done so.
So I ask you on this Mother's Day to please don't discuss my personal choice, my life.
It's my business that should be kept between family; it's not the business of others.
In closing, many ask: "So when are you going to have one of your own?" Well, time will only tell. But have you ever thought that it may not be possible? I wonder....
