Mother's Love
My mother is the bones of my spine, keeping me straight and true. She is irreplaceable.
Sometimes, mothers say and do things that seem like they don’t want their kids … but when you look more closely, you realize that they’re doing those kids a favour.
Mothers and their children are in a category all their own. There’s no bond so strong in the entire world.
My mother… she is beautiful, softened at the edges and tempered with a spine of steel. I want to grow old and be like her.
I wondered if my smile was as big as my mother. Maybe as big. But not as beautiful.
This is what we do, my mother’s life said. We find ourselves in the sacrifices we make.
Even as a small child, I understood that women had secrets, and that some of these were only to be told to daughters. In this way we were bound together for eternity.
A mother’s love for her child is like nothing else in the world. It knows no law, no pity, it dates all things and crushes down remorselessly all that stands in its path.
Mothers were the only ones you could depend on to tell the whole, unvarnished truth.
I will look after you and I will look after anybody you say needs to be looked after, any way you say. I am here. I brought my whole self to you. I am your mother.
