We all love our children; Mary loved Jesus, but raising a child means more than just love... it is a challenge. Do your children bring you more than love and joy? Sometimes our children are foolish, and can cause us pain, suffering, or even disappointment during their lifetimes. If you are a new parent you should prepare yourself for this, and if you have older children, then you know this to be true; so, was Mary the mother of Jesus different, and immune from such pain?
