A boy and his mom…
-
I didn’t want to disrupt Mark’s thread, but it got me to thinking. I lost my Mom in my very early 30’s. Karla and I had just been married and we had just discovered that Karla was pregnant with Lucas when she went.
I almost feel that I was fortunate in that. I feel like it would have been much worse 10 years later. 10 more years of being my mother and 9 years of being Luke’s grandmother…

I was in my late 30s. The boy came a few months later. I wish she had gotten to hold him.
When you shake someone's deep sense of self-worth, leaving a scar in their ego, they will persistently try to diminish you through petty arguments & obsessive captious criticism of your actions, just to soothe the wound.

Yeah, similar situation, but I almost feel that it would have been worse.

I was 29, but in any fair world it would have been earlier.
For her or for you?
