Today’s question – “What are you most proud of?”
My baby boy turned sixteen today, now on the brink of adulthood and I cannot be a prouder mom. He is my pride and joy, a beautiful human who is compassionate, caring and passionate about making the world a better place.
I am not sure I was destined to be a mother but when I decided to become one, like everything else, I embraced it. I fiercely loved my baby boy since he was handed in my arms. It was the kind of love I have never felt before. I can put myself before him if there is any harm coming to him without a thought.
But at the same time, it is the hardest thing I have done in my life. Parenthood doesn’t come with any manuals. So we tried and failed at so many things during the journey. But we got up and tried something else. Looking at him now, I think we did an alright job.
As he is on the threshold of adulthood, ready to face his own battles and lead his own life, I have mixed emotions. I am proud and happy and confident that he will be alright but also a bit scared of this crazy world. What gives me confidence is that I have given him good values to help survive. Also, I will always be there in case he needs a hug or place to relax. I am almost ready for my baby boy to grow up!
