When you love someone so completely, it can only be your child. Whether you birthed it or not is irrelevant to that divine love. With that deep love is a force of fierce protection and responsibility that cannot be measured either. And that is the wellspring of Mommy Power.
II comes in many forms, but the underlying source of this wonderful power is the love and incredible responsibility that is a Mom’s -to protect and guide her little infant from suckling to toddler, to child, to teen and then young adult.
Mommy Power can be the stern warning to a toddler or the limitation of prized privileges to a teen that has misbehaved or not done chores. It can be the strength to get up in the middle of the night and KNOW what is wrong just by the babies cry. It can be the power to say ‘no!’ or to offer soft cuddles when something goes wrong and not panic when something really goes wrong. It’s instinct and a measure of pride.
Mommy Power is one of the essential powers of the world as we know it.
