The Mother and Child Reunion
I had a long heart to heart with a friend today about mothers and being a mother and it is always interesting to me to see how children expect so much from their parents – they hold them to these impossible parameters and when they find out their parents are human, they are disappointed. It is almost like finding out you are human and the disappointment that comes with that realization.
Today I was Skyping with Tin and he looked like he had aged two months in the past week. It is too long to be away from your child when you know that soon enough he will be trying to distance himself from you anyway.
