A few days ago, I was tasked to file some documents for the family business and had to leave the toddlers with their aunt. When I got home a couple of hours later, I asked how the toddlers behaved while I was away. My sister narrated, “Hay, si Jade pinunit yung magazine. I told her she won’t have anything to read anymore if she tears the magazine apart. Wala, pinunit pa rin. Sabi niya, “Mama will fix it.” “
Uh oh! Mama’s in big trouble now.
This was not the first instance my little Jade has gone to Mama and asked her to fix this and that broken toy or what have you. In the eyes of my children, I can fix absolutely anything!
Well, I know I’m not the only “Super Mom” in existence. My eldest sister, Che, happens to be one also. I remember her daughter Ally watching me fix (futilely) a broken electric fan and seeing that I was having such a hard time finally exclaims, “You should call Mom. She can fix that.”
To our children, we can do anything. We can fix everything from torn books, loose seams, broken toys, etcetera, etcetera. We are world-class chefs, award-winning singers, stellar performers, and exceptional athletes. We can even make fever go away, bruises heal faster, and take pain away.
Now if only we could fix the world for our children, too.
On second thought, I think we can in our own little ways. As mothers, we can raise our children to be Christ-centered individuals and upright citizens. We can teach them compassion for the less fortunate. We can teach them to love and care for nature. In this way, we can raise a new generation who hopefully will make the future a better place to live in.
Uh oh! Mama’s in really big trouble now.
The future is in my hands. That just puts too much pressure on this already stressed mom. But, heck, my toddlers believe in me… So, here goes… “Mama will fix it!”
