Aurick is sleeping, a quiet calm and a cute face, lips open, smiling in his dreams sometimes. I was waiting for him to take a nap so that I can finish all chores. But last 15 minutes I couldn’t take my eyes off of his face. He wasn’t in my life even few months ago. Now he is everything to me!! Sometimes I feel like I am dreaming, may be Aurick is not real, I get scared, and quickly I pick him up, cuddle him, just to feel he is real. I love children. Always wanted to be a mother. But I had too much to do with my life as well. I am ambitious, love success in my own way. Life in overseas is not easy either. I don’t have any family to share my load in Australia. I was too scared to have a baby, thinking how am I going to raise one, will I be able to manage? We think a mum gives life to a baby, but the truth is a baby gives soul to the mum to start a new life of endless love and affection. Then few months ago Aurick came in my life. Everything changed!

We think a mum gives life to a baby, but the truth is a baby gives soul to the mum to start a new life of endless love and affection.

A long 9 years of married life together as a couple, Caesar and me loved those years together. All those outings, dinner dates, long drives, those beautiful memories, when we could do everything we wanted to, anytime anywhere. No, we cannot do the same now because life is not the same anymore. To go out just for an hour I need to pack two bags, hundred small things. But what I have instead is priceless.

I have my Aurick who is now my soul, my breath, my life. We always look for the definition of love in our lives. Now I know what real love is. Ask any mum, they all know. Love is being a mum. Now my baby’s smile is my smile and his sad face is my nightmare. A feeling which is beyond explanation, a strength, a melting heart! We think a mum gives life to a baby, but the truth is a baby gives soul to the mum to start a new life of endless love and affection. Motherhood is something I won’t trade for anyone or anything. I love being a mum.
