I had officially become The Invisible Mom.<\/p>\r\n<h3>\u00a0<\/h3>\r\n<h3>A Pair of Hands, A Talking Clock, an Uber<\/h3>\r\n<p>Some days, my value is reduced to a pair of hands: \u201cCan you fix this?\u201d \u201cCan you tie this?\u201d \u201cCan you open this?\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p>Other days, I\u2019m not even that complex. I&#8217;m just a series of services, a utility in motion. I\u2019m the talking clock (\u201cMum, what time is it?\u201d), the walking GPS (\u201cWhat channel is Disney on?\u201d), or the Uber driver (\u201cWe need to leave by 5:30\u201d).<\/p>\r\n<p>I once had hands that held books, eyes that studied history, and a mind that graduated <i>summa cum laude<\/i>. Now, those parts of me feel buried under layers of peanut butter smudges, mismatched socks, and an endless cycle of laundry.<\/p>\r\n<p>I was going&#8230; and now, she\u2019s gone. I was lost in the very life I chose.<\/p>\r\n<h3>\u00a0<\/h3>\r\n<h3>The Cathedrals We Build When No One Sees<\/h3>\r\n<p>This feeling of being forgotten peaked during a celebration for a friend, Joke, who had just returned from a glamorous trip to England. She was absolutely glowing, recounting tales of hotels, sights, and freedom. I looked around the room, felt utterly frumpy, and realized how much I missed that external validation.<\/p>\r\n<p>But then, Joke did something unexpected. She walked straight up to me and handed me a beautifully wrapped book.<\/p>\r\n<p>The inscription read: <b>\u201cTo Ovie, with admiration for the greatness of what you are building when no one sees.\u201d<\/b><\/p>\r\n<p>The book was about the great cathedrals of Europe. I devoured it, and through its pages, I discovered four life-changing truths that redefined my invisible work:<\/p>\r\n<ol start=\"1\">\r\n<li>\r\n<p>No one knows the names of the original builders of those magnificent cathedrals.<\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<li>\r\n<p>These builders gave their lives to something they would never see completed.<\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<li>\r\n<p>They made sacrifices quietly, without credit or expectation of applause.<\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<li>\r\n<p>Their faith sustained them, rooted in the knowledge that God sees everything.<\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n<p>One story stopped me cold: A man saw a stonemason meticulously carving a tiny, detailed bird on the <i>underside<\/i> of a hidden beam\u2014a place that would be completely obscured by the roof.<\/p>\r\n<p>\u201cWhy are you doing that?\u201d the observer asked. \u201cNo one will ever see it.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p>The worker simply replied: \u201cBecause God sees.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<h3>The Whisper That Healed Everything<\/h3>\r\n<p>When I closed the book, I finally heard it. Not the frustrated internal voice of the Invisible Mom, but a quiet, profound whisper in my heart:<\/p>\r\n<p>\u201cI see you, Ovie,. I see the sacrifices you make every day. The sticky cupcakes, the quiet bedtime stories, the tiny acts of love and service. They matter.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p>This invisibility, I realized, wasn&#8217;t erasing me; it was reshaping me. It was curing me of pride and shifting my perspective away from superficial titles. I now see myself as a cathedral builder.<\/p>\r\n<p>I show up each day to build something that will fundamentally outlive me. My name may not be on the structure, but my fingerprints\u2014my values, my love, my presence\u2014will be everywhere.<\/p>\r\n<p>Honestly, when my daughter eventually brings a friend home from college, I don&#8217;t want her to brag about my perfectly ironed linens or my old job title. I just want her to feel such a deep sense of belonging and warmth that she says, with absolute certainty: \u201cYou&#8217;re gonna love it here.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p>Mothers are the quiet architects of the future. We may never see the final structure or receive the applause, but what we are building is enduring. The world will marvel not just at the legacy, but at the beauty we added through the quiet, often invisible, work of love.<\/p>\r\n<p>To every invisible mom out there, remember: Great job. God sees.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>Inspired by a post from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mikeysfunnies.com\/\">Mikey&#8217;s Funnies<\/a><\/p>\r\n<p>Recommended:<\/p>\r\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/feelnubia.org.uk\/index.php\/2023\/village-family-relationships\/identity-crisis\/\"><strong>Domestic Diva: Identity Crisis<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\r\n<p><sup>Ovie Farraday is a wife and mother of five (including 2 teenagers and a pre-teen) living in a sub-Saharan West African suburb.\u00a0 She is married to an Architect and entrepreneur.
