I never understood...
I never understood why
she called him so much.
I never understood why she
still wanted to visit him so often,
even after we were married.
I never understood why she
needed to constantly check in,
now that I was taking care of him.
I never understood why she
seemed to hang on so tightly.
I never understood...
...until God gave me a son of my own.
And now, now I completely understand.
I understand why she kept him so close...
I understand why she hugged him longer...
I understand why she called just to hear his voice...
I understand why she worried so much
and always checked in...
I understand why she seemed to hang on so tightly...
Now, I understand why she treated him like such a gift.
Because, truly, a mother-son relationship
is just that--an irreplaceable gift from God.
And only God could write a love story
as beautifully extraordinary as that
between a mother and her son.
