I've been a mother for 20 and a half years 😲

By Marley Henry · 10 September 2020

I've been a mother for 20 and a half years 😲 My child is a man... it still feels odd saying that. Even more odd when you go out for lunch with your child and the waiter refers to him as your husband 🤣🤣🤣

I still remember his birth like it was yesterday, I attended no antenatal classes and the only preparation I had was a few pregnancy magazines as we didn't use the Internet back then 🦖

The birth was straightforward and I remember thinking "wow, a tiny human I now need to take care of" It was terrifying and exciting at the same time.

I remember taking him into college classes in his carseat to try and finish my final year of my health & social care course. Luckily for me he always stayed asleep and I got the job done.

He was such an easy baby and child. To be honest he still is. Smart too. As a mother of course I love showing him off, he graduates from his engineering degree next year and isn't he just handsome?

Sorry Dion, mum just had to shout you out 😋 @drandz1
