Steem WOmen Club 36-HOUR MOTHER'S DAY CONTEST | Tell Your Love To Your Mother | Show Your Gifts

Greetings to all the wonderful women and mothers in this community. It feels so beautiful to be in your midst again taking part in one of the best contest ever that Mother Earth could offer.

Today is Mothers Day celebration all over the world. It’s a day set aside to appreciate and recognize all mothers for their selfless efforts in their various homes and the world at large.

Motherhood is a never ending journey. It’s pretty tasking but the reward is divine. I celebrate you all, great women.

Today I will be celebrating a woman who has given me her all and impacted so much on my life. I am writing a letter to her because she is in a better place compared to the world we find ourselves today.

My Mother

Dearest Mother
I don’t need to ask you how you are doing because you lived a life that everyone should emulate which is a sign that you’re with The Lord.

Please, permit me to pour out my heart. It’s been so heavy and aching. (Crying)

I think of you and I remember the purest of love even now that you’re not with us. You gave us your all. You did everything to make sure your children were good. I saw your pains even when you tried to hid them 🥺🥺.

You were beautiful, energetic, hardworking, daring, Strong willed,so intelligent and a disciplinarian. A lot of people were envious of your personality. So loving and hospitable to everyone you come across. You level of neatness was top-notch. You stood for truth and honesty even when wasn’t your business.

You taught hospitality even at your own expense. I learnt that and am still trying to emulate you and show love to everyone around me.
I try to emulate your cooking methods and recipes so I get to keep your memories alive. Can I ever match up to you? No way, You were the best.

You taught us that Motherhood is love, friendship and iconic. You were my first, my best and my forever friend. You were the heartbeat of our lives after Daddy left us. You taught me that I could rely on you.

On this occasion of Mothers Day, permit me to maintain that I cherish your existence and presence in my life.
At the onset of each of my pregnancy, I kept looking forward to your baby-sitting visit but you never show up. I was just all alone.
If I never saw you lowered into the grave, I would never have believed that you are no more.

Thank you so much for the man you permitted to marry. He has really given me the best of him.

You were with me all through my last pregnancy until the day I put to bed. She came on the Feast Day of St. Theresa ( your own feast day) and the Priest called her Theresa. An indication that you never left me. I will try my best to make your dreams (the ones you could not achieve in your life time because wanted the best for your siblings) come true this time around*. She’s is very beautiful, very strong and smart too. Always giving me hug hug and emotional kisses.

Things have not been the same ever since your demise. Your preferential show of love to me has affected me negatively (most of my siblings exhibit their anger in our interactions) 😭😭😭. They misunderstood you, Mummy.

I wish I could turn back the hands of time so that every issue would be fixed for the better.

This vacuum your demise has created deeply hurts, (Nnem-oma) My Good Mother.

I cannot give you a better gift than THE HEAVENS on this day but I made you beautiful rose flowers

and a card; and set up a burning candle so that you will keep shining and glowing like a candle in wind. Please accept them, Mummy and keep praying for all of us still existing on this earth.

Your loving Daughter, Onyinyechi
