One day you lift your head from the pillow without knowing that you will never do it the same again. That day you will go to bed and two lines on a plastic stick will tell you that your life has changed forever.
Then begins a journey, a journey through everything you are, were and will be. Your body transforms. It dilutes. It flows towards the creation of new life. You share your blood, all of you mixes with a new being to whom you have to give the strokes that will make him have his father's eyebrows, his mother's smile, a thumbnail like his grandfather, a birthmark like his uncle, and a whole range of personality traits that will make you marvel as they are discovered.
One day you open your channel to accompany and help their arrival into this world to a new life that will never cease to be part of yours. And you see how your priorities, sleep hours, routines and tastes change completely. The house smells like milk, the soundtrack is lullabies, the floor is covered in toys, the air seems like serpentine and you know that you will never be the same again.
And it's true, because now you are better. Now you are double. Twice as strong, twice as lioness, twice as capable, twice as multitasking, twice as efficient with half the energy, twice as loving, twice as tender, twice as caring and twice as powerful.
You suddenly discover that you have a superpower; that of being a Mother.
Happy Mother's Day.
