One of the most repetitive celebrations in the world is Mother’s Day. Many men can’t seem to understand why this is usually celebrated more than once a year.
Mothers are special, so their celebration should be special as well, which was why Nigerian actress Tonto Dikeh has taken out time to write a lovely message to all mothers on Mother’s Day of Sunday 10 May 2020.
According to the actress who celebrated single mothers too, being a married mother isn’t easy, much more of being a single mother.
King Tonto, as she is fondly called, praised mothers and also shared words of encouragement with them while she thanked her son for making her a mother.
Read her post below:
“It’s Mother’s Day again — a day to salute the strength of mothers. From the inception of pregnancy — the hormonal imbalance, weird cravings, and mood swings that come throughout the gestation period.
“It’s not a walk in the park to be a mom. Vaginal birth is painful, CS isn’t any less painful — motherhood is indeed a sacrifice. It is something a lot of mothers don’t recover from. Childbirth.
“And this is why you should carry your body with confidence. Those marks are stripes of your honor and strength.
“Today I’m celebrating every single mom too. It’s hard to be a married mother in this society already, how much more single moms who have to go extra miles to provide for their children?
“Single moms who are stigmatized by society; shamed and scornfully laughed at. Single moms who are seen as second class women — I celebrate you today.
“In most cases, they walked out of a dead beat father; they left an abusive partner; they made the choice to prioritize their sanity and peace. I’m proud of you.
“And to every mother who’s stuck in a bad marriage just because it’s expected of her. I’m here to tell you that motherhood is not the symbol of suffering. Stop self-sabotaging.
“Stop minimizing your peace. Find the courage to leave any marriage that doesn’t serve your interests too. That time is over when we had to take anything just to be called mothers. We have broken that generational curse, and we are putting ourselves first.
“Happy Mothers To Every Mother. Single or married, or widowed, you are a superhero. You collaborated with God to bring forth another human; that’s something to be endlessly proud of.
“Thank You King Andre Dikeh because of you I am Called MOTHER”
