"Being a mother means learning, listening, reading, laughing, loving, and living in the moment.. all while executing the myriad details of life with aplomb." - Rana DiOrio. What is the difference between a mother and a motherhood? Every girl is on earth is a mother but a new born baby gives birth to a motherhood. Mother is a protection and Motherhood is nourishment, Mother is love and Motherhood is authority of love. Mother is mortal and Motherhood is eternal. Mother is life and Motherhood is soul. What makes a good mother? It is a pertinent question whose answers cannot be contained within a few words. Mothers comprise of bundle of emotions that sometimes defy reason. So this goes out to all mothers who have kept awake all night with their sick toddlers in their arms, constantly uttering those compassionate words, "It's OK honey, Mommy's here." One cannot define a good or bad mother. I mean mother is mother. Being a mother is the highest paid job in the world, since the payment is in pure love!! What being a mother really means? Being a mother means more than having given birth to a child. It's loving and knowing a soul before you even see it. It's carrying and caring for a life completely dependant on you for survival. It's giving air to the lungs that grew within you, and sight to the eyes that will never see you as anything but mommy. It's sleepless nights, it's nursing scratches and scrapes, It's being stern and protective. It's teaching them to talk, to walk and to eventually run. It's learning to hand your child to a stranger to let them teach what you cannot at times. It's bracing them for a fall, and dusting them off after they do.
