To my husband,
I am not the woman with a statuesque body
Still you love me.
I am not the wife you keeps a home spic n span
Still you love me.
I am not the wife who is very good in managing home finances
Still you love me.
I am not the wife who wakes up and serves hot breakfast
Still you love me.
I am not the wife who cuts perfect vegetables
Still you love me.
I am not the wife you has lots of patience
Still you love me.
To my children,
I am not the mom who believes in “gentle” parenting
Still you love me.
I am not the mom who always serves meals on time
Still you love me.
I am not the mom who is very organized
Still you love me.
I am the mom who is hormonally crazy
Still you love me.
But you know I am the wife and mom
Who loves you moon and back
Who can be fun and crazy
Who can be protective and fiery
Who will always be there with you in all the realms
Who will inspire you by aspiring for her dreams
Who will teach you kids to be independent and confident
Who can be her husband’s best friend
Because I am not the wife and mother who loves to sacrifice
I am not the wife and mother who tries to be too nice
I am the “real” woman who isn’t ashamed to bare her soul to you
I am the woman who talks about her goal to you
I am what I am and that’s why
Still you love me.
