Do you already have a son or daughter? Experienced the life of a mother?
I'm a 16-year-old girl. I was staying with my grandmother (sister of my gradma, mom's mom) at her daughter's place. There are things that I learned from staying with them. There's one thing she told me, and that's one of my favorite learnings I learned from her. And that's what I'm gonna share it now.
One time, when she was thinking about her past life, there's a thing that she realized. She realized that in life, we should know how to let go of someone you love. We should sometimes loose the grip, specially when the right time comes.
I know, that as a mother, it's really hard to let go of your precious one. But this what really life is..
Do you still remember when you're still young? Like at me age? Sometimes, we oppose what our parents told us. We don't listen to them, we thought that we know how to live without them, we think that they're wrong... and we're right. Yeah, I also think the same :P And when you were matured enough, the time came that you want to have your own life with the one you want to marry with.
Here's the thought...
When we get married (girls) and raise children, don't hold tighter to the grip, for they can't grow fast. And it'll just hurt you. Why?
When we bear a child in our womb, the baby is inside your body. You're still one.
When you give birth to your baby, he/she has his own body and life. You still need to carry the baby. And keep an eye on him/her.
When your baby, learns to walk. He'll/She'll just walk for a few steps and go back to you right away.
When your baby is starting going to school in primary, he'll/she'll be away from you for an hour or more. And go home with you.
When your child starts to go to high school, away from you for more than an hour, go out with his/her friends. And go home.
When your son/ daughter go to college, maybe he/she will be staying on an apartment, specially when your house is far from his/her school. And maybe he/she will go home weekends.
When he/she starts to work, he/she is getting too busy with his/her work and he/she has almost no time for you. Or when he/she is having a boyfriend/girlfriend.
And when he/she gets married, maybe you won't see him/her for how many days specially when they'll live far from your place.
Can you see what I mean? There are time for everything. So never get too tight with your son or daughter. Their just like you when you're at their age. You already know how they feel.
Think of it :)
Thanks for reading :)
