Entering motherhood is not easy. I never knew how hard it is until I became pregnant. During those days I always cry, asking God why is he punishing me. I didn’t know what to do. I am hopeless, feel scared and shy with a big tummy in an early age, but didn’t think about abortion .
Things change the first time I saw Elijah. It was September 1, 2010 around 5:16 am at Baguio General hospital. Everything. Yes. I feel happy and contented for the very first time in my life. I thought I will never be happy like this. I am not alone anymore. I got a son who will protect me from anything, anyone who will hurt me.
The punishment became a blessing. A blessing that made me see that life is worth living. Having a son is really a pain in my wallet but a big happiness in my heart.
Eventhough motherhood is very hard, I will try my best to be Elijah’s mom.

Until you’re a parent you’ll never understand how much your parents love you. Being a parent has made me a better person in so many ways. Like you, I am also blessed with an amazing, inspiring Mom. Great post!
Momy Rossel is right–you should be thankful coz God has given you an angel..ang iba,naghihintay pa ng matagal para magkaroon lang ng anak.
Because of Elijah,kahit na pagod na pagod ka sa trabaho,makita mo lang ang smile ng anak mo,tanggal kaagad ang pagod di bah^_^
do not think of it as punishment, dear. elijah is a blessing from heaven…an angel. nothing to be ashamed of on your early pregnancy. it can happen to anybody. motherhood may be hard but it’s the most fulfilling profession.
