Mother’s Day – عيد الأم

‘When you have kids, you’ll know what I mean’

A sentence my mum used to say to me when I was younger and I used to ignore it!

Getting pregnant, giving birth, becoming a mum is a one hell of a tough task yet a great one.

Every night I stay up watching my sick child or feeding my newborn I remember you.

Every moment I spend thinking/researching what’s healthy to cook for her, what outfits would look cute on her, what activities should I sign her up for , I remember you

Everytime I see how her room turned into a mad mess after I have JUST cleaned it, I definitely remember you.

Every thought I give to what education I prefer for her, every effort I make to put her in a school I believe would be the best for her, I remember you.

Mama..I am suffering with only one child onboard and already drained with a newborn being added to the equation.
You did it not with one or two or three but with four children. How?
And you looked pretty..all the time!

تعالي شوفيني..غوريلا..لا و مش غوريلا عادية، غوريلا منكوشة و مش نايمة من تلت سنين

Mama..now I know what you mean
I wish you would have clarified more
