One of the first issues when expecting a baby is how do we want the child to call us.
Mommy, Daddy, Papa, Mama, Ama, Ina, Tatay, Nanay, these are just few of the many choices.
Do you still remember the arguments,which one to choose? A mother who bears the baby in her womb for nine months is the most excited one.
Even if the dads insist they too have equal excitements with the moms.
Have you heard a child calling their own mother by their own first names? In the Philippines, that sounds strange.
But in some countries it may sound an extra ordinary relationship.
A child will never understand how a mother pains every time she sees her child is hurt, and a child may never understand the fear that every mother faces when danger calls .
And may never taste the sweetness they feel hearing the word mother from the lips of their little angels, unless they bear their own child and call them sweetly and gently, "Mother".
The word mother is seldom noted with less meaning.
Since when do people acknowledge motherhood as a noble calling? Since when do young mothers get proud when their off-springs call them out "Mama" in public? Isn't it high time to realize and deeply understand what a Mother does in this beautiful and challenging world? She may be the worst mother you know, but you can be the worst child living if you won't start accepting that Mothers are the reason why you are here.
Okay, You didn't ask for it,but did you really not? .
She did not expect for a monthly allowance for bearing and delivering you.
All she asks is a sincere recognition.
It means more...
