My son broke his hand the other day and I just discovered
the most horrid part of being a mother, it’s when you see your child in pain
and there is nothing you can do to ease it. I have never felt so hopeless
before, I know the flu is a pain and we worry but having your child shriek your
name in utter pain is heart shattering. You don’t know whether to grab your
child and cradle him or let the doctors help him, nothing prepares you for this
experience but eventually you calm down (after some Valium)

I was sat beside my son in his first hospital bed since
birth awaiting his first surgery ever and I was a bit proud, mostly because he
said he wanted me by his side through it all and well I guess because we were
going through life’s growing pains together. In painful and intense moments like that there is
love present and a memory about to be made for both of us to look back on later
on in life. Motherly pains are not so painful when you sit and reflect there
are a few difficult moments but when they pass and you take a moment to reflect
they are crucial that’s how a mothers love for her child grows through each
experience be it good or bad.

Motherly pains are not pleasant but we don’t have a pass for them and as such we go through them in order to master the art to being strong and well knowing when to wear a clown’s face. Children always look to their parents for strength and well we got to give them the strength they need when they need it. Parenting is a job that requires us to have super powers when necessary it all sounds crazy but it’s true our children have unfaltering faith in us. It is our job to give them the strength and faith that they need whenever they need it, even if we don’t have strength or faith. Motherly pains give birth to love and new bonds and memories so don’t fear them they are necessary.
