It feels like pain … three days of labor and no pain killers just so the baby will be healthier. It feels like hunger because you didn’t have enough money to buy your children food AND at yourself. It feels like pride and joy when he helps others and “gets it” by leaving a waitress a $20 tip because she was having a bad day. It feels like hell when you think about how you can never go for a walk with him and watch his “stupid” clips on his phone or go do something to make him happy like bring him a bacon egg and cheese biscuit… when you can’t even feel his spirit lingering around the area where he went to die. It feels like the cruelest thing to be the mother of a young man who had all a mother’s love in the world and decided that wasn’t enough.

I sure as hell wouldn’t know…
Complicated.
“Mother is God in the eyes of a child”
I’d imagine that means it would feel divine, absolute, so powerful it makes one know God existed
perhaps that’s why I never believed in God
I would die to find out what a father’s love feels like.
