Motherhood Statement Novels & Stories

From moments you wish you could undo. But the truth is, I knew I was pregnant. I just didn't think I deserved to be a mother. I thought I was too broken to bring a child into this world. Too damaged. Too unworthy. I believed my pain would only poison you. I thought dying was mercy—for both of us. I was wrong. And now I'm here—begging for more time. Begging for another chance. Watching you fight for your life because I almost gave up on mine. Motherhood is not just sacrifice. It's not just sleepless nights or silent prayers. It's guilt. It's a regret. It's learning too late how much damage pain can pass down if we don't survive it.

"I hope I can be a good mother for you, Cayden, not a perfect one but a good one." Nakatulog na lang ako habang hinihimas ko ang tiyan ko. I can't wait to see him. I can't wait be finally a mother. This may be an unexpected one but a blessing is still a blessing and I will do everything, even if it cost my life, just to give him the life that he deserves.

hinang hina na sabi ni Thea. “Sshh! Dad will bring you to the hospital for full x-ray. We’ll see if everything is really okay now.” “Dad…” “Hmm…what is it?” “Is true that mom just made us to make babies for you?” “No,no, no! Don’t ever believe that. Your mom is an amazing woman. She will never allow herself to make babies for others. All babies are gift from God. God made them for both of us.” “Dad, I still want you to be my dad. You will always be my daddy.”

Sabi niya sa akin. "Baby, hindi mo kailangan magthank sa akin. Kasi it's my responsibility as your mother. Lahat gagawin ni mommy maging masaya at lumaki ka na mabuting bata. Baby, lagi mong tatandaan na mahal na mahal na mahal kita. Kayo ang buhay ko, ang nagbibigay sa akin n strength para lumaban. Hindi susuko si mommy," sabi ko sa kanya.

hinawakan niya ang aking mga kamay, "habang buhay kong tatanawing utang na loob ito sayo." "Hindi mo ito utang na loob, responsibilidad ko ito sa bata. Babawi ako sa kanya," nginitian ko siya, "mahirap maging single mom, kaya hanga ako sayo at napalaki mo siya ng maayos."

"Hindi ko kailangang ipaliwanag ang sarili ko sa inyo. Pero gusto kong sabihin ito nang malinaw—hindi ako masama dahil sa pagiging isang single mother. Mas mabuti pang maging ina ako na puno ng pagmamahal kaysa maging isang taong mapanghusga at walang alam kundi mang-apak ng iba." Napakurap si Aling Perla. "Aba’t, matapang ka rin pala, ha?" "Oo," sagot ni Cherry, hindi natinag. "Dahil kailangang maging matapang ako para sa mga anak ko. Hindi kagaya ng iba diyan na puro paninira lang ang kayang gawin. Wala kayong karapatan na husgahan ako dahil hindi po kayo nagpapakain sa akin."

My voice trembled as I said it. Liam looked at me. "Valerie," he said softly, "nothing will be lost. Nothing will be ruined. And don’t call this child a mistake. A child is a gift. It might be tough now, but this baby is a blessing, even if the father isn’t perfect." He paused, then added, "That child’s mother has qualities of a good mother that is caring, understanding, strong, and she deserves support." Those words made me pause.

She has decided to let go of the past and, starting today, she will renew her life. “I hope you will allow me to be a happy mom. Thank you for bringing me into this world. Thank you for being a good mother to me. Thank you for all the sacrifices you have made and thank you for being the best mom in the universe. Mag momove on man ako sa nangyari sa atin, but always remember that you will stay in my heart and mind forever... I love you, Mom. I will always love you.” I sniffed weakly.

“Mom, please… p-please don’t say that. Naiintindihan k-ko… I really do. I was young, but I knew… alam ko na hindi mo ginusto ang lahat ng iyon. You were sick, you were hurting. Hindi mo kasalanan ‘yon. Hindi ko kailanman isinisi sa’yo ang nangyari. ” Umiling si Mary Loi. “Pero kasalanan ko na hinayaan kong mawala ang mga taon. Hindi ko naramdaman ang paglaki mo. Hindi ko nasilayan ang bawat tagumpay mo. Hindi kita nayakap sa bawat gabing umiyak ka mag-isa. I didn’t even get to witness my only grand daughter’s steps. I should be the first one to guide you on motherhood. I deserve your wrath and blame, my daughter.”

the maid commented again, and I saw in her eyes that she might remember something. Napangiti naman kami sa sinabi niya at natutuwa sa mga komentong natatanggap namin. I know she's a mother too, and she's making sacrifices. I wish I had a mother too, and I had a parent like her who would fill me with love and care that I never experienced. It's okay, I have my husband and son now—I have my own family now that will fill the missing piece in my heart.
