18 years of being a Mother...

Been married for 19 years this year and a mother for the past 18 years has made me a complete person. I've got four beautiful and adorable girls within 7 years of our marriage..really enjoyed the time of giving birth to them, see them growing up, raising them fairly among each other, try to accommodate everything that we can afford, owh..am just trying to be a perfect Mum.

Now, after 18 years, being away from my eldest, Allesya for 3 months (no doubt we go visit her every 2 weeks) has just made me a better understanding mother, more mellowed, being more rational, a little extra curious and I guess those are just some normal feelings a mother would have of their children (especially girls). I've gone thru some teenage sydrome problems from Allesya during her 16-17 yr old period, it was a real challenging and tough time for us to face through it, but Alhamdulillah, when she reaches end of 17 yrs old coming to her 18th, the way she thinks is absolute different, she changed into a matured lady with more adult-like thinking. She tables her education plan and always at ease when discussing her study plans with me and hubby..

Argh, my children are growing up..meaning my really aging, and I've got 3 more growing-up girls to deal with. I'm really wishing for an early retirement, hope it'll happen soon.
