Precious love

These days the weather is great, long bright days and clear nights. Everybody is out, having fun and enjoying the good weather before it starts raining again. My boys are out with their friends for most of the time. Their happiness would always make me happy. Today I thought how children’s love is so pure and how their simple acts would make your heart leap and I remembered these:

A phone call from my son after school just to know what the doctor had said about my headache? (then he started arguing about his evening plans)

When my son cries out from downstairs, looking for me, he cannot wait to tell me about one of his adventures (of course something not private and confidential)

When my daughter ran to hug me at the school gate with a big smile because that day I could not take her to school in the morning.

And when my eldest came home, a bouquet of flowers in his hand on Mother’s day, it was a rainy evening, very rainy, and he was so wet and tired when he said; ‘mama, this is for you.’

Raising children is not an easy task and the more they grow up, the harder it becomes. Don’t count the missed calls and texts, the fights and arguments, and don’t forget their dirty rooms and their complaints about the simple chores. But their love is so precious. Their love will embrace your heart. Their love will make you smile. And their love will make you always thank God for having them in your life.

True, children are a blessing and a gift from The Creator.

Wishing you and yours all the best,

Nahla
