I can’t help wondering if mothers knew exactly what they were getting into when they got pregnant and then when they give birth, if they’d still go through with it. I wonder if they knew the joy that goes along with the pain and worry, if they’d still choose to get pregnant. It’s not a job for the faint of heart. In fact, it’s downright heroic.

You echo my feelings for my mother, divorcing in a time women simply didn’t… struggling to survive and give me the best she could, succeeding overwhelmingly in that, and then raising herself to a PhD level after starting her life divorced with a newborn, serving coffee at the train station for money to live. I didn’t acknowledge her properly either, but I know she is a triumphant spirit right now still teaching me truth and wisdom šŸ¦‹
