I told her with a smile on my face "let me guess... You love me so much it's unexplainable" she starts laugh, then that laugh turns into crying. She gently puts her head down so I won't hear her crying. It didn't work. Her tears hits the bathroom floor, sounds like rain drops falling and hitting the windows.She's always been that kind of women who is strong and has too much self pride to cry in front of anyone; even her own blood.- field notes 10/5/14
Yes I'm a sixteen year old girl who loves to hang out with her mom, the girl who still holds her mothers hand in public. Takes naps with her on her tough days. The girl who loves to be called "baby" or "princess" by her mothers voice. Sounds strange doesn't it? That doesn't matter though, what matters is that I choose to obserivate my mother, to help her and understand what she's going through. How can some one you love put you though so much pain? Does notice me crying with her?
I am aware that some people won't understand or not lucky enough to experience this beautiful love. I found this pome and this pretty much explains the love from a mother.
A Mother’s Love
~
A Mother’s love is something
that no on can explain,
It is made of deep devotion
and of sacrifice and pain,
It is endless and unselfish
and enduring come what may
For nothing can destroy it
or take that love away . . .
It is patient and forgiving
when all others are forsaking,
And it never fails or falters
even though the heart is breaking . . .
It believes beyond believing
when the world around condemns,
And it glows with all the beauty
of the rarest, brightest gems . . .
It is far beyond defining,
it defies all explanation,
And it still remains a secret
like the mysteries of creation . . .
A many splendoured miracle
man cannot understand
And another wondrous evidence
of God’s tender guiding hand.
