12 Shoutout Chapter: Rhonda_Augustine the yearning mother

Here's to the moms of the world, patient and caring. They groom us in their image, and prepare us for the world. Then they set us free.

This is a tale of a mother who yearns to be with her child, despite the distance.

Rhonda gave birth to a baby girl in the year 2001. Like all healthy children, she was cared for. Nonetheless she still slowly drifted from her mother, as children do.

The child never knew the father until she was about eight years old. The child's curiosity had grown and the bond between the mother and her daughter did too. Until the father appeared and the child completely ignored the mother.

But the mother, still yearning, tried her best to heal the hurt relationship. But all attempts backfired. Soon the child was sent away to another land and the mother suffered more.

As time went on, the relationship had its ups and downs. It was better at times, but it never stayed that way. And the child was still in another land that wasn't home, always moving and lost.

And the mother continued to yearn.
