Happy Mother's Day to all the wonderful moms out there, including the ones who never expected to be part of the club.

However, my journey into motherhood was not planned and came with its own set of challenges. Despite my initial hesitations, becoming a mom transformed me in ways I never imagined.

Growing up in a household where my own mother was the pillar of strength and love, I never thought I would follow in her footsteps. But life has a funny way of surprising us, and here I am, embracing the role of a mother with all its joys and struggles. My journey as a reluctant mom has been filled with moments of self-discovery, immense love, and a newfound appreciation for the sacrifices mothers make.

On this special day dedicated to moms, let's celebrate all types of motherhood - the planned, the unexpected, and everything in between. Each mother's journey is unique and deserves to be honored. To all the moms who didn't envision this path but embraced it wholeheartedly, your strength and love are truly remarkable. Happy Mother's Day!
