Today, continuing with the Stories of mothers with whom we wanted to celebrate Mother's Day, which was celebrated last Sunday in Spain and that in many Spanish-speaking countries will be commemorated on the 15th, I bring you this beautiful experience, full of beautiful feelings and courage, which the young mother Katya has sent us.
At 24 years old and finishing the tenth semester of Law, I realize that I am pregnant and that I would be a single mother, which filled me with much anguish, sadness and uncertainty. I thought about what my mother would say, what my dad would say, what everyone would say in my house and I was very scared, but with confidence in God, since I saw that positive I said: I will be a mom and I do not care what they say the others, I will go ahead for my son and for myself. Months passed and I already felt it in my belly, every day I kicked a lot, but I loved to feel it inside. It was a quiet pregnancy, without discomfort, without setbacks or anything, until one morning in March he said: I have to leave! Notice everything here goes Daniel Jose! Without much pain, without feeling tired, without epidural or anything at half past eight in the afternoon I already had it in my arms. When I saw him, I told him his fingers, I looked at the face so beautiful I had and I couldn't stand it, I started to cry, I couldn't believe it was mine, but it was and it has filled my life with much joy and happiness. And not just me, because he is the center of everyone in the house. From an early age he showed his intelligence and already at 9 months he was talking, at 10 he walked. He was never a child who cried a lot, always accommodated himself at the time, liked to play building blocks and now he makes buildings with them. He is already 6 years old. He is a loving, intelligent child, always eager to learn more and more. I no longer give him bottles, nor do I change diapers, but now he is not only my baby, he is also my friend and as the grandmother says is his mother's partner. It goes everywhere with me. At school he is one of the best in his class and the teachers always have very good words about him. He is early for his age, but he still likes playing a lot, and especially if it is with me. He likes to watch television by his side, so that he is always explaining what he, by his age, does not understand, because he does not want to be left in doubt. At night, he sleeps by my side and when he wakes he always hugs me. We read the bible and he says: Mommy, I love you. He likes me to answer him with a hug too. It's my baby, it's my life, it's the light that illuminates me every day. I don't really know what my life would be like without him, because despite everything we went through so he is by my side, I am the happiest woman in the world when my son tells me: Mom, I love you. He has already given me the best gift in the world, when he tells me a few weeks ago: Mom, thank you for bringing me to this world, without you I would not have been able to exist. The tears did not hold in my eyes and at that moment I knew that in the short road that we have traveled this world I have done a great job with him, because I have made him happy and he knows how much I love him too.
Those tears are so happy. There is no love more intense than this, the one we receive from our children and the one we can give them. In spite of the battles, of the fears, of the difficulties, his love fills everything with meaning. Thank you Katya for your story, it has touched me deeply. I have read it to my son, and he is also crying with emotion.
