When did I give birth? Not something I recall! 'Recollection not necessary, just look at me' Not the world's prettiest picture. 'But one you still love!' He's right, my heart is his. He owns it. I don't own his, but a portion is mine. I wonder if he'll still love me in the future. Time may change his love, his dependence. How will I survive? I depend on his love too. Perhaps then my end will come. Will I welcome it? Will I be brave enough? I hope so.... this is too hard.

My child?

He's my autistic nephew. I'm his safe place.
