What have you learned when you became a mother?

Tweet

At 35 years old, still I am single but I consider myself a mother. I am a mother of 2 wonderful dogs named Carey and Gello. Well actually I am a mother and grandmother all in one for Gello is the son of my first pet Carey. 8 years ago I was getting bored with my single life. My itineraries are just the same-work-house-eat-sleep-work-house-eat-sleep. Over and over again I do the same things. Once I decided to have some adventure, I hanged out with my cousins every after work. It was fun but expensive too cause all we did was eating outside and spends money. I also learned how to drink alcohol which is not such a good idea. I go home very late at nights too. The past 8 years it seems to me that I have no responsibility whatsoever. I just deal with my life in a day to day basis. When one time I was watching animal planet and I saw this cute shihtzu. It was so lovable and I fell in love with the breed so right then and there I called my sister and ask her to help me find a shihtzu for sale without thinking about it too much. I was so fortunate cause’ she has a friend who breeds shihtzus and there are puppies available for sale. The following days were history… Sigh… I always feel happy reminiscing how it all started. Having them thought me how to be responsible. They gave my life a new meaning that I can’t explain. It may sound crazy to many but my dogs are my children. I save money for them and think about their future too like real mothers to children. I can’t sleep if they’re not by my side and I get bothered if they seem sick. It’s always them first before anything else. I know my becoming a mother is different from real mothers. Some people say that if a woman hasn’t become a mother yet or give birth, she hasn’t paid her debt to their own mothers. Why is that? Have you heard about this phrase before?
