It's hard to put in words exactly what being a mom means to me. Being a mom means being strong and weak at the same time. As a mom, there are instances when I put on a strong facade when deep inside I am so achingly vulnerable. Being a mom is a constant struggle between being hopeful and fearful. I try my best to be hopeful that all things will go well for my child, but there are times I can't help but worry that this world may not be a good place for her to grow up in. Being a mom means learning about kindness, compassion, and patience all over again every single day. Most of the time, being a moms means being dog-tired but happy. Last but not the least, being a mom is a GIFT and I wouldn't trade it for anything.
