A Mother's Love - The Incredibly Generous Generosity It Requires

She talked about her son as if she had been married to him for 25 years and was now emotionally spent. She said he snores at night, how can you not hear that sleeping next to him? I went outside to the front porch and sat on a step. I thought about a mother's love, the incredible generosity it required from you. Her son had taken in a stranger, some one else's child, and whatever this thing was with the two of them, she felt that she too had to love and give everything she had - even if she didn't want to. And the feeling of wanting one star, any star, never does disappear. Entirely.
