Mama's little baby

Thursday, April 30, 2015


That moment she lays her eyes on a miracle, holding her ever so gently between her arms, with no distance between them, holding her so closely to her chest, as she lays in the hospital bed, what  a beautiful creature … A new born baby.

 A mother’s love is like no other, that moment when she has her baby by her side she knows she will do whatever it takes in the world to make sure to protect her and create a beautiful world for her to live in, making sure that she won’t get hurt by the slightest thing.

 Getting some sleep as her little girl finally decides to rest in her little pink bed, she’s awakened by the sound of her baby crying, that sound is the most hurtful sound she could hear in her life, seeing her baby cry her heart crushes with every sound, She stays up hours holding her little baby girl till she falls asleep in her arms, so close to her, so close that with every breath she takes the smell of her daughter comes though into her lungs, as its inhaled , it fills her body and soul with happiness and love. With every breath she is drawn closer and closer to her. Her daughter is now her everything

As her little baby grows, her mummy is with her every step of the way always holding her arms around her just in case she falls just in case she loses her balance, keeping her little girl from pain.

As the girl grows up her mother becomes her best friend, dressing her up, making sure she’s always smiling and laughing, dancing together, acting silly and watching cartoons together, Mama also becomes her teacher, teaching her to draw, play games, studying with her, making sure she’s up to date with her classmates, teaching her how to clean up her toys, showing her how fun and amazing life really is!

Growing and growing, her baby girl is no longer little, placing her on her lap isn’t quite as easy as it was years ago, now she can only sit beside mummy, and as years pass by, the distance between them seems to increase.

All grown up, the mother realizes that her little girl is no longer under her arms like before, she isn’t always around, and she now has new “best friends” in her life, and the more she meets new people, the more mama seems to fade away.

Sitting alone, she thinks to herself how fast time flew by!  It was only yesterday the nurse had given her her baby for the first time, with its little eyes still close. The thought of her baby girl makes her smile. Those times they had together for all those years are in her deepest memory and now… she sits… without her best friend.


As I write this post, my eyes are filled with tears, realizing how fast time flew by, and now as a 19 year old girl, I think of all the memories I’ve had with my mum, and how I miss being so little that I could sleep beside her in her arms, and being so light that I could sit on her lap placing my head on her chest as she speaks to me in her beautiful soft voice. 


If you are reading this right now, whether you are a girl or a boy, woman or man, know how special you are to have someone love you so much, care for you, and would give you everything in the world without getting anything in return, know that as you grow more and more she’s getting older and older so think about how blessed you are and most importantly remember that no matter what you will always be 
Mama’s Little Baby.
