Real Moms
I was “tagged” to do a real moms post, where you write Real Moms_______ and you fill in the blank and then explain it.
That got me thinking, are there “fake” moms out there? Isn’t everyone “real” whether you planned to be, you never thought you wanted to be or miraculously became a mom?
Real Moms are everywhere.
They are the old lady that everyone is too busy to visit in the nursing home. They are the young teenager who knows her child will have a better life if she gave it up for adoption, even though the decision tore her heart out.
A real mom is the mother who adopted the child that needed a home and loved that child as if it grew in her womb instead of her heart.
Real moms are corporate executives, pilots, cashiers and receptionists.
She is the stay at home mother who gets bored at the park.
A real mom stays home from work when her child is sick and the mom who goes to work after being up all night with a sick child.
She is the grandmother who after raising her own children, is now raising her grandchildren because her daughter cannot.
A real mother is the place you came from.
Every mother in every form is a real mother, she is you and she is me.
real moms, mothers, children, what is a real mom, family, families, moms, grandmothers
