All the versions of a mom, wrapped up in one. They all live inside you. The mom that is a daughter or sibling, we all came from somewhere. The mom that has little ones, and then the mom of grown ups. Mom as wife, friend, coworker, so many hats. It is hard to turn the mom part off, I mom everything. I have used all my mom hats this week. I have stepped in as a mom, and stepped away as a mom. I like the mom parts in dad’s, to watch a father tuck in a child, kiss boo boos, tend to their kids, hits me in the feels.
Everyone can call upon their inner mom, it isn’t gender specific, it doesn’t have an age, it doesn’t even have to have children. Interceding for someone, putting someone else before yourself, dropping into someone’s emotional distress, we all have that. You see it in little kids, I love that too! It always amazes me to see it in the most unlikely people. Those are the keepers in life, that’s how you know the generations will be okay going forward.
I can’t really say why we are like this, it is not because we all had sensational moms. Not everyone is nurtured the same. That gentile and compassion is in there. It may lay dormant for a time, and some are just that way from the beginning. You may play a role in the creation of it in someone else and don’t even know it. You see someone after years and they recall something that was life changing for them. You did that, and you may not even recall it. You are who you are but impact everyone around you. Be careful with your words and actions . Reflect what you want to see in this world.
