Motherhood doesn’t come with a manual. There are no clear instructions, no perfect way to do it right. We step into this lifelong role with love, instincts, and countless silent fears. And when our children grow up, have their own families, and live their own lives… we mothers remain – with an ache in our hearts that never fully fades. 🕊️

I saw this image, and every word struck a deep chord in me. “I wish I was perfect for you, but I am human after all…” – How many times have mothers forced a smile while their hearts were breaking inside? How many nights were spent silently regretting a harsh word, a wrong decision, or simply not being “enough”?

🌙 Every night, that mother whispers to herself: “Tomorrow, I’ll do better…” as if seeking forgiveness for being imperfect. Even after failing, again and again, she never gave up. She never stopped trying.

The drawing of the mother lying quietly, holding her child – even though that child might now be a grown adult – reminds us that a mother’s love never expires. It asks for nothing in return. It’s quiet, enduring, and sometimes, painfully heavy – especially for mothers who carry the weight of mummy guilt every single day.

💬 If you are a mother reading this – please know: You are not alone. You don’t have to be perfect. You just have to love – and you’ve already done that beautifully. ❤️

👩‍👧‍👦 And if you’re a child – don’t wait until it’s too late to say thank you to your mom. Behind every loving mother is a sea of silent sacrifices, sleepless nights, and self-blame no one ever sees.
