My MaMa

My mom is a very loving caring mother. She does everything to keep the house in shape and has always taken care of us and her grandchildren. My mama taught me manners and responsibilities was her main goal. What I mostly learned from my mother was keeping the faith.

I always knew that I could talk to my mom, I would vent to her and she would hear me out. I had wished that me and my mom could have been closer than what we are now. I understand she loves me unconditionally of course.

To be honest what I have witnessed and applied to my own life is that I am the glue that holds my family together just as my mother is, I keep in contact with all of my children just as she has I am working hard to provide for my family no matter the obstacles I am there for them regardless even if I do not like the circumstances I am given.

My Mama is a strong woman who will tell you straight up how she feels she can be stubborn and serious most of the time. She expresses herself if she has a problem she will always get to the bottom of it, she is not shy. I have learned to stand up and fight for what I believe in. I have also learned from my mama on how to be courteous, respectful to others, be professional when it comes to work ethic and I am a hard worker. Thanks to my mama, I also admit that I can be hard headed and stubborn at times.

My mama has also taught me to be there for my family. My husband stays in his corner if he shares compassion and love. My pop can be abrupt and has a temper but my mama has shown me that you can make light of a situation. When I got pregnant at a young age I admit it was not easy to her taking the news but she actually instinctively knew without me telling her that I was pregnant at the time, you see just like most moms my mama wanted me to become successful and had high hopes she understood that it would not be easy for me, my other family members requested for me to terminate my pregnancy but not my mama she was completely against that idea my mama accepted the huge shock and moved on and just took care of until I had moved out with my then boyfriend the father of my child. I can proudly say now that my parents have always been there for me. I am forever grateful to them. I apologize to both of them for any pain that I have caused.

I understand and know now that becoming a parent is not easy, raising children does not come with an instruction guide we learn from our own parents most of the time. I will never stop asking my mama for advice. Like I have stated before that I would really love to have a closer relationship with my mama for she is the very reason of how I have learned to be the best mama I can be. There can never be anyone to ever replace her. Here is a small poem dedicated to my mama: Roses are red, violets are blue, you’re my favorite Mama. I know this is true. I will always love you, no matter how much I appreciate you. Happy Mother’s Day, Mama not just for today but each and everyday because you’re the Bomb!
