Motherhood is a Blessing-By Maryam Areeb Mothe rof Amal Areeb PreNsy A

Happy Mother’s Day to all the wonderful mothers out there!

Cheers to every woman for her beautiful and brave efforts that hold a family together. This day is also a heartfelt reminder of the overwhelming emotions that come with motherhood. I once thought motherhood was only about being gentle, kind, responsible, and understanding, but it taught me so much more. Being a mother means being a multitasker — the strongest, bravest, most patient, and, most importantly, a fighter.

Amal was only one and a half years old when she was hospitalized due to severe diarrhea. Those long nights in the hospital, watching her vomit constantly, seeing the injections, drips, and hearing her heartbreaking cries, made me realize something deeply powerful. The care, comfort, safety, and security I could give her as a mother were things nothing else in this world could replace.

Motherhood changed me in ways I never expected. It made me stronger, more resilient, and full of unconditional love. So here’s to me and to every mother out there — you are stronger than you know.
