They are the primary caregivers, providing the first model of emotional behavior for their children. But being a mom also means going through tough times and sleepless nights.

Recently, a woman shared her experience of being a mother, and how it drained every inch of her energy. Yet, she discovered that a single look at her children would always restore her strength and energy. She began her story by sharing a photo that her husband had taken the previous night. The picture showed her and her young daughter peacefully sleeping together. Usually, she would get mad at someone taking a photo of her while asleep, but this one was different. It spoke of the struggles and the joys of motherhood.
In her story, she spoke of the reality of being a mom. She described how she rarely had the time to wash her hair and would always keep it in a messy bun. Her clothes were often stained with food and spit-up, and her makeup was nowhere to be found. Yet, this image her husband captured served as a constant reminder of how glamorous parenting really is.
Amidst all the crying, the diapers, and the mess, there are those precious moments that make it all worthwhile. The tiny eyes that look at you as though you are the center of the world, and the gentle hugs that make you forget about all the troubles.

“I won’t mind the hectic evenings as much as holding and snuggling my infants to sleep. I can feel their little chests rising and falling as their tiny fingers wrap around my own,” she wrote. “The ability to calm my children down with just a hug and a kiss on the forehead will always be more important to me than any weeping outburst.”
She concluded her story by saying that she wants to cherish this phase of parenting, no matter how difficult and stressful it may be. She doesn’t want to forget the joys and struggles of this time in her life.
Being a mother is not always easy, but it is a journey filled with love and unforgettable moments. So let’s take a moment to appreciate all the moms out there who tirelessly give their all for their children. Please share this heartwarming story with your family and friends, and celebrate the incredible moms in our lives.
