Here are 10 things your mom never told you.


1. You made her cry… a lot.
She cried when she found out she was pregnant.
She cried as she gave birth to you. She cried
when she first held you. She cried with
happiness. She cried with fear. She cried with
worry. She cried because she feels so deeply for
you. She felt your pain and your happiness and
she shared it with you, whether you realized it or
not.


2. She wanted that last piece of pie.
But when she saw you look at it with those big
eyes and lick your mouth with that tiny tongue,
she couldn’t eat it. She knew it would make her
much happier to see your little tummy be filled
than hers.


3. It hurt.
When you pulled her hair, it hurt; when you
grabbed her with those sharp fingernails that
were impossible to cut, it hurt; when you bit her
while drinking milk, that hurt, too. You bruised
her ribs when you kicked her from her belly; you
stretched her stomach out for nine months; you
made her body contract in agonizing pain as you
entered this world.


4. She was always afraid.
From the moment you were conceived, she did all
in her power to protect you. She became your
mama bear. She was that lady who wanted to
say no when the little girl next door asked to hold
you, and who cringed when she did, because in
her mind no one could keep you as safe as she
herself could. Her heart skipped two beats with
your first steps. She stayed up late to make sure
you got home safe, and woke up early to see you
off to school. With every stubbed toe and little
stumble, she was close by; she was ready to
snatch you up with every bad dream or late night
fever. She was there to make sure you were OK.


5. She knows she’s not perfect.
She is her own worst critic. She knows all her
flaws and sometimes hates herself for them. She
is hardest on herself when it comes to you,
though. She wanted to be the perfect mom, to do
nothing wrong — but because she is human, she
made mistakes. She is probably still trying to
forgive herself for them. She wishes with her
whole heart that she could go back in time and
do things differently, but she can’t, so be kind to
her, and know she did the best she knew how to
do.


6. She watched you as you slept.
There were nights when she was up ’til 3:00 a.m.
praying that you would finally fall asleep. She
could hardly keep her eyes open as she sang to
you, and she would beg you to “please, please fall
asleep.” Then, when you finally fell asleep, she
would lay you down and all her tiredness would
disappear for a short second as she sat by your
bedside looking down at your perfect cherub face,
experiencing more love than she knew was
possible, despite her worn-out arms and aching
eyes.


7. She carried you a lot longer than nine months.
You needed her to. So she did. She would learn
to hold you while she cleaned; she would learn to
hold you while she ate; she would even hold you
while she slept, because it was the only way she
could sometimes. Her arms would get tired, her
back would hurt, but she held you still because
you wanted to be close to her. She snuggled you,
loved you, kissed you and played with you. You
felt safe in her arms; you were happy in her
arms; you knew you were loved in her arms, so
she held you, as often and as long as you
needed.

8. It broke her heart every time you cried.
There was no sound as sad as your cries, or
sight as horrible as the tears streaming down
your perfect face. She did all in her power to stop
you from crying, and when she couldn’t stop your
tears, her heart would shatter into a million little
pieces.

9. She put you first.
She went without food, without showers and
without sleep. She always put your needs before
her own. She would spend all day meeting your
needs, and by the end of the day, she would have
no energy left for herself. But the next day, she
would wake up and do it all over again, because
you meant that much to her.

10. She would do it all again.
Being a mom is one of the hardest jobs anyone
can do, and it will take you to your very limits
sometimes. You cry, you hurt, you try, you fail,
you work and you learn. But, you also experience
more joy that you thought was possible and feel
more love than your heart can contain. Despite all
the pain, grief, late nights and early mornings you
put your mom through, she would do it all again
for you because you are worth it to her. So, next
time you see her, tell your mom thank you; let her
know that you love her. She can never hear it too
many times.[sup] Here are 10 things your mom never told you.

There's nothing greater than the love a mother has for her children

oh, I know.

she never told me, but I have always known.

This is why we call her sweet mother, always putting us first before herself, thanks mom for being the best.

Wow! Sweet

This brought tears to my eyes, and I was even listening to Meghan Trainor's Mom song like a minute ago. I will always appreciate my mother.

God Bless My Mother God Bless My Father...
I guess I'm so lucky to have the best parents in the world.....

God Bless The Mother of my coming kids...

"I encourage hard work on realistic goals". I like that.

But even goals that seem far-fetched should be pursued. Always aim for the impossible.

Far-fetched can be realistic. Aiming for the impossible depends on perspective.
If someone else somewhere was able to accomplish something which was impossible,then aiming to accomplish same is realistic. However,if no one on earth has walked a path, aiming to walk that path and accomplish something therein is unrealistic. There are exceptions though for geniuses or those under grace from God (if you believe in God)

You don't need to accomplish something that someone else already did and someone else doesn't have to accomplish something {impossible} in order for you to aim for it as well and/or consider it realistic. It's called 'creating your own path' and living your own life.
