Being A Mom

(The greatest Love Of All)

(Reflection #4)

I have started my day when the sun was still asleep at the dawn.
In a very short time, I had to prepare everything for me and my daughters before they leave home for school.

With only two hands I belong, I stepped here and there in rush to do several domestic jobs in the same time ; cooking, bathing, packing, and , this is the hardest, awakening my kids, for Shalat and for schooling.

My left hand handled a fan filled by hot oil to fry sausage or tofu, while my right one stirred 3 glasses of hot tea.
At the same time my mouth yelled to awaken my kids in a loud shout, many times.
Actually I had touched them by their arms or legs to make a "soft call" . But it didn't work.

"Kakak... wake up !!"
"Adik... wake up!!!"
"Kakaaak, wake upp !!!"

I kept calling them again and again until subuh Praying Time came. The sacred time made me more calm for a while..

When I was done praying and cleaning up, I continued cooking . And continued calling them; My beloved princesses.
But my loudcall sounds like a "Nina Bobo" Song for them, for there was no respond at all.
In the weekdays, I hardly heard the sound of birds that always tweeted in serene morning around our home that surrounded by trees and bushes.

I was to busy to catch their tweet.
After dressing for work simply, I sometimes noticed that my girls were still snoring in a deep sleep.
Once again I called them louder and slowly they moved as they will never go anywhere.
(You know what? They must be at school at a half to seven, and it takes an hour to go !)
"Where 's my milk, mom?" the younger asked me in a half closed eyes.

"No time honey.." I replied by the time I put the food ; some on the dining table and the rest in the lunch boxes for their brunch.

"Today you have to make it by yourself !" I said.
"Huh, mom.. I'd rather go back to my bed.. and no schooling!" she threatened me, walked back to the bed room.
(Here sometimes I felt upset.)

And the birds flew as the sun raised higher.
Once again I had to persuade my younger to be "nice and obidient " girl. For that I needed much more time and so we were all late.
Huffff...

(I 've got to take a deep breath.....)
I am only one of thousand moms alike.
As a mom , We have to be stronger phisically , emotionally and mentally, better than any other creatures in this planet !

Agree?
It is known that every single need of them is our bussines, especially in their "growing up " time. But not on the contrary.
We know what, we feel how, and we understand why we dedicate almost all of our time and energy for their life.

Look !
They would eat if we cooked. They would go if we asked to.
When they 're hurt we have to be in their side.
When they re weak, be ready to hug.
When they talk , be ready to listen.
When they do good deeds, get ready to compliment.
and..

When you need help, get ready of their rejection !!
That's the moms are for...
But,

Can we be that great person?

Since the world was created, it was natural that the parents (read:mom) has had that "Never Ending Job Desc".
A wise man says that 24 hours is not enough for a mom to take care of her children.
Do I mind?

Of course not !
Because I will have a full charged - battery again to be always on ..
The charger is " love "
It is a "power"
It is the Power of Love that Allah had provided for us as the "stocks" when our battery is low.
On the other hand, do not forget that they would grow step by step in whole; phisically, emotionally, and mentally, as well as their spiritually.

We just have to love them and give them chance to grow and to be themselves.
It will help them to be independent. And by the time comes, they will change to be adult and mature, as we used to be.

So let's just keep up our good work and never stops.
(Dedicated to my beloved Ones)
