Being a mother.

It was my earliest dream to become a mother before I got to 26 years. I wanted that feeling of someone calling me 'mummy'. Then the search began. For a husband.
As early as 24 years, I got married.... Yaaay..... I took in immediately and behold my Richard came.. I named him after my dad as I wanted a physical reminder of my dad even in my marital home.
His birth was so easy, he didn't weigh much. Just about 2.7kg. I could remember being asked if I ate atall during my pregnancy.
Fast forward to now, Richard has given me the complete feeling of being a mother. There was a time I was sick, clearly writhing in pains, and he was there. He knew I was in pains and patted my head saying ' mummy sorry" then ended it by giving me sugar. 'sugar' means a kiss.
Infant, the pain almost disappeared. Then he ended with it ' I yov you' meaning " I love you"
At this time, tears of fulfilment, ran down my cheeks as I was grateful for that show of love.
Baby, I love you. I really do
