My mother in my eye has always been a super woman. Up till the day I was down in the hospital waiting for my turn for an injection a couple of years back, she was the one I confined in for my worries. So I guess it is undeniable that almost everyone thinks their mum are the most brave person in the world, probably even surpassing dad.
This we what I thought until the day I had Kat. On a whole, I would summarize myself as someone who is afraid of a lot of things, from horror movies all the way till an injection. But for Kat, I had went through 3 horrible engorgements, a cesarean, countless trips to the doctors and many other things. This little girl sticks to me whenever she gets into trouble. Well, this Friday is her 1 year old injection, and I am bringing her to the docs all by myself. Am I afraid?yes! But as a mum, I realize it’s more about telling yourself that you have to do it and your kiddo depends on you for comfort that makes you NEED to be strong or at least “act” strong.
So are mums formidable?nope, we are not and up to this point , I am thinking how many umpteen times I had forced my mum to be or look strong when I was young? But my little conclusion would be that mummies and daddies will always try our very best to be a dependable shoulder for our children. And for daddy Kat and I, we always try to make it a point to be there whenever Kat needs us.
So fingers crossed for this Friday!
