Life in itself is a maze. There are a lot of uncertainties, a lot of choices to make. Choosing the wrong turn may be for the good or the bad. Often times we are faced with crossroads. We may have the leisure of taking our time to process which path to take but usually we have to decide in an instant. We just to depend on our instinct, our tools are the values our parents have inculcated on us and the experiences that we were able to gain.
For a single mom, her first encounter with a life changing experience is her decision to give herself to the man she thinks is worthy of her. She surrenders and loses herself in the process. After a couple of weeks, that sweet moment has resulted to a remembrance, she finds out that she is pregnant! Her dilemma now is how she will tell her parents or sometimes she reaches a point, wherein she becomes God, it crosses her mind if she should go ahead with the pregnancy or if it would be best to terminate it and save her from motherhood. She then realizes that God gave her a blessing, an angel and she takes the turn to being a mother.
As another life is growing inside her, she has all sorts of apprehensions. Should she marry her partner? How can she nourish and begin to mould the human inside of her? Will she be a good mother, sweet but firm, strict yet nourishing? What environment is best for her child to grow up in? How will I support my upcoming family? And many more. After you break the news to your family, and as they say time heals all wounds, they shower you with love and support. It is overwhelming that all your fears are soothed. Your concern of marriage to your partner is set aside and you focus to prepare yourself in the journey you are about to take.
Then at night when it is just you and your angel, your fears begin to set-in. Never-ending questions pour on you like a tidal wave. Will I be able to raise him well? Will be able to give him the life that he deserves? Will I be able to give him a bright future? Will my child love me? As your mind goes through this roller coaster ride, you suddenly feel your child kicking inside your tummy. It is like he is assuring you that the two of you can surpass any trials that may come your way. He is saying that, he is sure that you will be the greatest mom and that he will be with you every step of the way. Your maternal instinct to caress your tummy as a gesture to show your appreciation for your baby only proves that you have it in you to be a loving mom.
All your fears have subsided. You now know that both you and your child will be able to climb any mountain and survive any turmoil. Words need not be spoken just the magic of touch, the language of love.
