_{My Mother, me and my son👩‍👩‍👧}

Mother resonates not just with blissful unconditional love but also with endless care which is the basic need of every child regardless of being humans or animals. The connection of mother's to their children started right back from conception and it's eternal bond.

My mother, Phubong Gladys Monju was the 4th wife of Monju Emmanuel Chia(my late father)
I'm from a polygamous family of 4 wives and 26 chilled and many grand and great grand children.

_{My Mother}

If I'm to jot the list of reasons why my mommy is the most important person in my life, then it might seem endless, but here are few most crucial reasons why my mother is very important to me.

---

Unconditional Love

---

When I take a look at my mothers eyes I come to realize the true meaning of Unconditional love. This is because even though he's in her late 60s, she still discipline me and tells me how I'm still her little baby 28years ago! She loves me in any phase and situation she finds herself and I know that because I lost my daddy 23years ago and my mommy had to sacrifice her all to take care of me and my sibling. She went through hell in her steps children hands but yet she'll stay strong for us. Even after loosing my elder sister she didn't still give up on hope to continue loving and caring for me and my brother. She didn't have any skills or trade but could farm all year round to send me and my sibling to school while my elder sibling learnt a trade, I was enrolled into a government school.

Mothers are the first Teachers

---

For ever child, learning start before birth and that means inside the mother's womb. She often told me that during my pregnancy, she always talked and sang beautiful songs to me. That developed a strong bond between us and connection for me with the world.

What ever the language and custom I must have learned I learned first from my mother. She told me she will start hearing me calling Amma and that made her very special. This because the nature of polygamous homes warrant the mother's have access to their husbands homes once a week especially with her case that she was the 4th of 4wives.

She taught me right from wrong and how to live a fulfilling life. She achieved this because she was a no nonsense mother when it comes to decipline. She taught me all she knew and till date, she still does. She went through alot that helped shaped how she brought us up.

---

My mother gives me hope

---

I would say if it weren't for mothers, this world would be pretty hopeless. I say so because life is filled with varying experiences and though some are good and vice versa. My mother gives me the hope, love, care and comfort that assures me that in the end good always prevail. Through my mum's eyes and confidence, she always tells me of how hard work pays in the long run. Through all my situations whether from examinations or hardships of life, she's the number one person I seek guidance from first.

She's my best friend

---

Sometimes, only a mom’s lap was what I required to feel safe.
My mommy always tells me am an open book to her🥰. This because she knows me like no other. What ever i face I make, she tells me she understands me and love my like that. Her judgement are always right and she treat and discipline me according though. There's nothing about me that someone will tell her that will be strange for her, she's my number one confider and to top it all that I'm now her lone daughter after the demise of my elder sister.

---

My mother, my Foundation and pillar

---

All the values of marriage I know today, she taught me orally because her husband my dad died when I was just 5years old. So I couldn't learn by emulating her examples of marriage.

She taught me to build a marriage based on trust and love because when the foundation is strong, the enemy can't succeed and I'm glad I took her advice because I'm happily married.

She taught me how to take care of my kids unconditional the same way she did for us.

My children loves a d adores her so much and she took care of my son's and always with me during delivery and offcourse gives me all the comfort of post partum.

_{My mom and me at home}

---

Love her the way she does

---

Though I know I can never pay her for everything she's done and is continuing to do for me but all I can do is to reciprocate that love and affections to her. I know she can never ask anything in return, but I can only make her feel special by surprising her on different occasions, days with gifts to let her know she's very important.

_{My mother, me and my kids}

My mom is growing old and I'm also a mother now, I now understands her better why she did all she did in making sure discipline was a good behavioral sharpener.

---

Conclusion

---

At her age now, I'm playing the role of a mother to my mother because I monitor her diet and medications. This is because I want her to enjoy her grandchildren and enjoys a healthy life because it will bring completion to her because I'm doing what she did to me years back.

But still today, if I'm stuck somewhere, and feeling indecisive, I know she will bring stock of suggestions and a warm hug ready to mend me up. I love you very much mommy.
