The feeling of achievement definitely stays with you forever. The experience becomes a part of you - it's like a hidden gem you can always uncover for a boost of confidence. It may fade slightly over time, but the memories of that sheer determination and strength will suddenly resurface, reminding you of your capabilities, especially when you need them most. Motherhood is a powerful thing; it shows us what we're capable of and often, the reminder is all we need to draw from that inner strength again.
