A Mother's Love
by
Musu Wallwork Kaneen

The love I have for my mother is endless. It's hard to write in just a few words the great love she radiates. She is a woman of considerable faith & determination, who loves her family. There is power in the love a mother has for her child. It is unconditional & unfeigned. Of things that matter most...family is everything. After giving birth to our son, our first born, my mother came to Washington to help me. She was there to help make meals, do laundry, & do anything else that needed to be done. Like all new mothers it is road less traveled which can be overwhelming & unpredictable. But with my mother's help she made it look so easy & doable. It's amazing what joy & love a new little baby can bring. Although I was in my late 20's when I had my son, I felt I was falling short in my lack of "Mommy" experience. But with my mothers intuition & insight I was quickly recognizing my motherly skills will need some tweaking. I seriously don't think my mother realizes what a huge help she was when she came to assist me in bringing up baby. But she truly was. When her flight departed to go home, I can't tell you how exhausted I was. She really went the extra mile & more. I never understood how much she did until she was gone. But when she did leave she gave me the tools I would need to help me raise a family. These tools she gave me helped in so many ways when our little girl came to our family. We are so blessed. And for that I will be forever grateful to my mother. Like the North Star that is constant, my love for my mother is too. Both her and my father have taught me to be independent, to love the Lord, serve others with a willing heart, and love your sisters. This road I referred to earlier as less traveled, is now a well paved road. Don't get me wrong there's still the occasional potholes & crumbling pavement. But with maintenance of love, care, & understanding, anything is possible. A path I can only pray & trust in the Lord will lead my family to eternal joy, happiness, & life. All because two people fell in love..... my Mother and Father. I'll love you forever Mom~Musu❤️
