What does Mother mean to you?

Mother - according to Mr. Merriam Webster, it is defined as:
Main Entry: 1moth·er
Pronunciation: \ˈmə-thər\
Function: noun
Etymology: Middle English moder, from Old English mōdor; akin to Old High German muoter mother, Latin mater, Greek mētēr, Sanskrit mātṛ
Date: before 12th century
1 a : a female parent b (1) : a woman in authority; specifically : the superior of a religious community of women (2) : an old or elderly woman

Mother, Mommy, Mom, Mama, Mamita, Mudra, Nanay, Inay, Inang, Mamasan - these are the few words I know for mother.

Let me define this word based on my experience and observation. A mother is someone who was very happy from the first time she saw the two bars on the pregnancy test kit... She is someone who has sacrificed her entire life for not wearing a two-piece bikini because of the stretch marks on her belly. She has called all of the saints and the name of your father when she let you have your first cry in the delivery room.(This did not happen to me.) She is the Darna of your life under the duster who always saves you from trouble and makes your day...in English version, she is Wonderwoman. At times, she will be the "kontrabida" or protagonist in your life when she sees that something is out of hand.

But seriously, a mother is simply the person who accepts you no matter what you become and whom you will be...she respects every inch of you and will love you without anything in return. I dedicate this to all the moms like me. May this blog help you in any way. Happy Reading!
