Good day, friends in the Weekend Engagement Community. How was our celebration of Mothers' Day yesterday? It was something find with me. I was excited seeing myself as a mother. Proudly, I have 3 children. So, I am counted among the true mothers today,😃
It is in the spirit of that that I am sharing this picture for the #weekend-engagement 308. The questions usually come every Friday. The current one will soon be closed. I am coming almost late because I was tired with all the stress of yesterday's activities both in church and at home. So, I decided to rest so that my brain can relax and make my entry this early hours before the prompt is closed. Here is the post announcing the engagement

What this picture reminds me of is motherhood. That is not so clear because I am snapping from a hard copy. The picture was taken about eight years ago. It was about two years after our marriage. The child in my hand is my son. He is my first son. At that time the boy was a year old. Now he is nine years old and going to ten. Why this is so special to me is because I have had the privilege of living and raising my children. I was not old enough to identify my mother when she died. All along, I counted the foster parents I live with as my parents until I was told almost when I was above 18 by my older brother that those weren't my parents.
The significance of this picture to me is that it makes me value the noble task of motherhood. I have a responsibility today to raise three human beings to grow up and become responsible citizens. It is as this season is the time the world has chosen to remember mothers that is why I am sharing something that gives me a thought about motherhood.
I lost my mother at a very early stage of my life. I did not even know her to identify her as my mother. I would have been very happy having her and growing under her alms but I never had that privilege. Today I am also remembering her through this post. For bringing me into this world and giving me opportunity to live, I say:
THANK YOU, MOM
