Thanks Mai!

I get to 1) have cute and adorable kids 2) hear myself called Mommy 3) be the ONE who can chase monsters away and make booboos disappear 4) return to my Maker the gifts He gave me by making my children noble soldiers of God. BUT

Mai could not have said it any better - I have learned the real meaning of unconditional love.
(These things could never compare to the riches of the world, even mansions nor diamonds and luxury watches)

I get to share this too, I think this sums up what I feel about being a mom these days

My Mom never had this chance - to stay at home and really take care of us when we were kids. Though I understand why my mommy wasnt able to be the one to cook for us and tuck us in at night, I have always dreamed somewhere in my unconscious that I wanted my kids to not have the same fate. I guess when I was a kid I was somewhat jealous of all the kids I know who had mommies at home. When I became a mother, times were hard and circumstances left me with no choice but work to support the family.
We went through many maids. There were months that we needed to have the kids hauled off to my parents because there was no one to look after them and we needed to work. It was really tough - knowing there is really nothing you can do because you have no choice. Then we decided family needs to come first and we sacrificed a little -I quit my job, we moved to the province and we had to endure Daddy being gone on weekdays to work in the city. It was a small price to pay for such a huge prize - I get to be with you everyday. I get to be assured that you are well-fed, educated and taken cared of because I am here. It is a thankless "job". It is harder. It is scary to live in a one-income household. I dont know until when we can hold this. But right now, I am so thankful for being able to given the chance to stay home. And Im going to drench this experience as much, and as long, as I can.
