At some point I had to pull myself away from it and send it out to the world. What I didn't include is how undervalued motherhood is in our culture. No one talks about the skills and the talents mothers have to have in order to raise healthy children. We don't have time to be crushed by postpartum depression or to let illnesses prevail. We have to be "on", every day. Our job doesn't come with paid vacation days, holidays, or sick-leave. Motherhood is so difficult yet it's just so expected. A mother will do anything for her child and instinctively protect that child for the duration of her life. When the world kicks our childrens asses it's the mothers that let them know that they are not alone. We pick up more pieces and wipe more tears than could ever be counted in one lifetime. I hope any mother reading this post feels encouraged to keep going!<br /><br />I've been wherever you are. I've had to stand on long WIC lines to make sure that they've had cheese and milk. I've had to apply for food stamps and medicaid when my job simply wasn't enough to make ends meet. Fathers have an option to run free. Mother's don't. God's Love will always sustain you and don't ever feel like he will forsake you. He won't. <br /><br />Much Luv<br />~BC~The Brooklyn Chronicleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08673466547337519344noreply@blogger.com
