She Said to me, is your mother still alive... and said yes, she said to me again, "always appreciate your mother, to be mother is not easy"
Once again in my life I felt this feeling of tears, this urge to cry out for mother's, truly the corners of the hospital have saw more genuine tears for passion and love for humanity than else where in the world.
Today left an indelible mark before my heart for the sacrificial love of mother's.
My encounter with a pregnant mother who came for antenatal care clinic, afterwards, she was sent to the lab to get tested so that compatible blood may be made available for her as she will be entering theater for cesarean section.
I'm in charge of the lab where I work, when she walk up to me her first words was, "I'm tired", as tears roll down her cheeks,
I asked her why she's shedding tears, she said "I'm in deep pains, all my body is paining me".
Looking at the canular at her hand, I felt very pity for her.
She then told me, that doctor booked her for CS (cesarean section), that she has been waiting for contractions for days now to no avail.
While the tears was rolling down her check, she asked me a question that changed my mood completely, I started feeling so emotional that tears started dropping from my eyes.
She Said to me, is your mother still alive... and said yes, she said to me again, "always appreciate your mother, to be mother is not easy"
Before I could recollect what happened, she start asking herself some rhetorical questions, in deep soliloquy, that I looked at her and say "stop it, the Lord that lead up to this moment will never forsake you"…
Immediately she affirmed, with great optimism that was written all over her.
The event that day left a very deep spot for mothers in my heart, without hesitation, later in the evening I called my mom,
My first words were "mom thanks so much for everything you've done for me, my God will bless you, and I must make you proud"
With the rate of surprises I noticed in her voice tune, she asked me "anything happened today ?".
I smiled and said to her, " you wouldn't understand mom, but you're the best thing that has ever happened to me".
To cut the long story short, the lady in question, is one of the happiest person on earth today.
I visited her few days after the CS to check on her.
According to her, she said "Go has done for me exactly what I asked from him, I gave birth to a baby girl !"
Indeed, I was very happy for her, that at last she had a very strong reason to be happy.
This was her third pregnancy, all with cesarean section, the previous two pregnancies, she gave birth to boys, now she has a baby girl, indeed her joy was complete and overwhelming.
the sacrifice of mother's can't be compared to anything on earth.
The only love without conditions, sharing your body and soul with another human being, is the greatest of love after that of Christ.
I affirm it with all my heart, "to be a mother is no easy..."
Always cherish them if you have one.
God bless all the mothers in the world for all their sacrifices and undying love for their children. Amen
