A Mother’s Story

Mother’s Day is a special day dedicated for all mothers in the world. On this event, we celebrate the special day of the very special woman in our lives, our mothers. This day we regard them for their sacrifices and efforts to give us a better life and a promising future. There really is no love greater than a mother’s love.

I can still vividly recall day I brought precious little, Maiah Alara on this world. That day was the most terrifying and fulfilling day of my life. I woke up at 5am with a slight pain on my hips very much like menstrual cramps that would recede, only to come back about 10 minutes later. The pain woke me a few minutes later and I realized that it must be what they call the “labor” thing. Was I shocked and so afraid as I took a quick bath as my husband, Don along with my parents Roger and Mercedes admitted me to the hospital.

At 12 noon my little angel met the world. I can still remember her cries as I fall on a deep sleep. I woke up at the Recovery area because of the snore of another patient that was lying very near to my bed. Haha. I fell asleep again. I felt the nurses taking me to my room but I’m too tired to lift my eyes-must still be the effect of Demerol. I heard Don’s voice telling me that I delivered to a beautiful, pink and chubby baby girl.

That day will remain as the most painful, tiring and fulfilling day of my life. Maiah is six months old this coming Mother’s Day. Despite the pain I am so happy that she’s here with me- makes me forget about the pain in bringing her to this world.

There are many venues to celebrate Mother’s Day in the country and example of it is to attend craft fairs. At New Hampshire, a Mother’s Day Craft Fair will be happening on the second Sunday of May.
