Happy Mother's Day; mothers and mother figures !

Happy Mother's Day !

Motherhood. Much has been written and glorified what being mother is all about.
While many fit into the conventional 'mother mould', there are many among us who face difficult situations and complex emotions.Like they say, each child is different, so is every mother. The only common factor being unconditional love for her child. At times, there are others who take up the role of motherhood, are 'mother figure' to kids and the concept of motherhood changes accordingly.

A very Happy Mother's Day
To all those mothers, who leave their children every single day and go to work.
To those mothers, who gave up their careers to 'be there', for their kids.
To those mothers, who are fighting depression, the urge to give up but still hanging on for  their kids.
To those mothers, who have had emotional meltdowns thinking they cannot do it all.
To those mothers, who fought tooth and nail against judgemental society for their 'special child'
Especially to those mothers who have to stay away from their child's life, prioritizing the kid's welfare above their own wishes.

Biology is the least important thing that makes a mother.
So, to all those cool aunts, who smother kids with unconditional love.
Furthermore, to the grandparents who take up responsibilities  inspite of their own frail health,
to make sure the child is cared for.
To the rare and exceptional  nannies - domestic help, who are a mother figure to kids and dote on them even when 'madam' isn't around.

Last but not the least, Motherhood is surely not gender specific.
So, a very Happy Mother's Day to the fathers, who have taken up the role of mothers for various reasons, they are rocking it and how!

 Wishing all moms, especially mine, a very happy mother's day. 💗
