There is really nothing that can replace a family in this world. There are things that you can ignore but when the need of a family arises, you are there. There will be no question of whys. You always make yourself free and available whenever a family member is in need.
I am a working mother. I work for my family so that I can provide them what they need. I work because I need to and I want my husband to concentrate graduating in his studies in medicine and eventually in time when he already is settled into his professional career I could just sit back and relax.
I had been in Medicine School too. I had three years there and only one more year of internship before I could graduate and take up the post-graduate internship. I had to make a choice between family and career and I chose family making me give up my life long dream to become a doctor. I have to sacrifice my dream for my family but I it was all worth it. I had no regrets giving it up for the meantime.
In the future when everything is settled and I still have that dream, perhaps I will pursue it and become the doctor that I really wanted to be. In God's will and in God's precious time I will be able to achieve the dreams that are set out for me. It may or may not be the same as I had dreamt before I settled down but it will be a dream not only for myself but for my family too.
I learned a lot, wept some but most of all I have been happy and still am even after all the sacrifices I made. It was after all for all the love of my life that I can never trade for anything. I could continue sacrificing more if needed be.
For all the sacrifice, for every tear shed, for every pain felt and for all the laughter shared, these are the glory of being a wife and a mother.
Godspeed for all the wives and mothers all over the world.
