You’re so loved Nael. Each and every single day my love for you grows. But that love doesn’t come on it’s own. With that love comes my never ending worries and fears about you, about your health and your well being. I worry about your allergies. I worry about everything that you eat. I worry about your sadness during car journeys. I am proud yet apprehensive about your sensitive little soul. Your eagerness to “make friends” brings such dread inside of me because I don’t want you to be vulnerable or an easy target. My head and my heart never stop thinking and panicking about everything relating to you. But I think that is what unconditional love of a mother is. It’s all those things combined.
You want the world for your kids, right? Everyone wants their child to be the brightest, the kindest or the funniest. When nael was born I wanted to show him the world. We took him to Malta at the age of 4 months, at 11 months he went to Tunisia and at 15 months we took him to Copenhagen for the weekend. In between that time he visited wales a couple of times, had a trip down to London, visit Birmingham a few times, a day out in Liverpool and regular trips to Newcastle. We had an awesome time and made some wonderful memories but we had our challenges during those trips.
Motherhood is waking up several times through the night. Sometimes because your child is uneasy or unsettled. But other times just because you want an excuse to check up on them.
Lockdown has all been about this guy. Our ups, downs and everything in between. You know parents often think their kids are so lucky to have them and should be “grateful” etc etc. But I don’t know, I feel we’re the ones who should be grateful. Grateful that we were able to conceive, carry a baby and deliver a healthy baby. From the very start they begin to teach us so much. About life, perseverance and resilience. I know it doesn’t always feel like that. But sometimes, just sometimes when we get a moment of silence, it really is lovely to think about all that we’ve learnt from these little humans!!
I am really and truly blown away at the amount of love and support I’ve received over the blogpost. You guys know I do it for fun, not for money or whatever else. I just truly enjoy sharing my feelings with anyone willing to read them. And it makes it all worth it when we get to have a chat about it. Thank you so so much for taking the time to read the blog. I know I am not the best writer in the world. Nor am I a perfectionist so things are usually probably a little messy (like Me) but I really love sharing a part of me, especially when it resonates with others. The blogpost was truly from my heart, a true and honest version of my thoughts.
JUMMAH MUBARAK 🙏🏽♥️ photo of the last mosque we visited in Gibraltar! The views were incredibly beautiful but we couldn’t go in as the mosque was closed due to staff getting covid in there.
