When you are a deeply feeling person, and your pregnancy hormones are buzzing uncontrollably; you get an interesting mixture of unbalance mood, thoughts and emotions.
My all time favorite book is “The Giving Tree.” It’s a beautiful story, which I wanted to read to my daughter. A few nights ago we snuggled in bed, ready for a nice quiet read, but after just a few pages, I begin sobbing. I couldn’t catch my breath, making it difficult to read the words. I made it through the book, but barely. Each page, each line, made me cry even harder… My daughter looked at me puzzles, worried and saddened. “Mommy, let’s not read this book ever again! It’s making you sad. It’s a bad book.”
“No. No.” I reassured her. “The story is very good, it’s just making me a bit emotional.”
The story is about unconditional love. The kind of love that you would give anything for. Mother- child Love.. or other Love. Any true Love.
I explained to my daughter how much I love her. How I will always be there for her. How I will give everything and anything that she would ever need from me- just like the “Giving Tree”… I hugged her tightly and cried some more. I couldn’t stop. It just kept coming. And I let it…
Yours Truly,
