Mother

This is my mother story and mine.

The choices my mother made and her sacrifices made me who I am today.

My mother made one of the ultimate choices a mother can do; she gave me to my paternal grandparents to be raised. It was not a secret. I always knew who my mother was, although today I wish I had spent more time with her and learned to know her better. 

I was never angry at my mother for her choice and never questioned it either. I feel blessed because I always had more than one mother, although during my teenage years I didn’t think so.  My mother gave me the world, she gave me the chance to be who I wanted to be and fulfill my potential; although when I explained to her that I was an artist, she didn’t really understand why I didn’t want to be a doctor.  As a mother I really don’t know if I could make that choice. Being able to be there for my children makes me more thankful everyday for her choices.
