This Motherās Day is super special for me ā„ļø
Why, you would ask?
This is not my first Motherās Day with Vamika, but it is the first Motherās Day where I truly felt like a mother.
Not many women speak about this part of motherhood , the kind where your baby is born and you donāt even get to see her first or hold her or take her home with you, where the NICU becomes your second home, and where you see tiny babies fighting battles every single day. No matter how kind and supportive the nurses are, no mother wants to see her child surrounded by syringes, medications, and machines.
This Motherās Day feels special because, for the first time, I finally had the space to truly feel motherhood.
That doesnāt mean I ever loved my daughter any less. I loved her from the very first second. But sometimes, when you are constantly surviving, worrying, praying, and staying strong, certain emotions take time to settle into your heart.
It took us monthsā¦ maybe even yearsā¦ to reach this phase, and Iām sure Aman would agree with me.
And isnāt motherhood beautiful that way?
No matter how stressed, exhausted, heartbroken, or overwhelmed a mother is, she will cross every boundary and fight every battle just to make sure her baby is okay.
Maybe God gave us this journey to show us how strong we truly are as a family.
And most importantly, my little Durga , my Vamika , the strongest baby in the world.
Thank you for making me the mother I am today.
Every good day, every achievement, every high in the last year has happened with you in my mind and in my heart.
I will always be your mother firstā¦ and then everything else. ā¤ļø
