I'll always love my mother.
But I yearn to be drastically different
in the ways that I love my children.
Time and energy.
Interest and equality.
Authenticity.
Truly,  I am aware of the difficulties my mother endures.
And I can only offer prayers to Him who listens,
that I will be able to devote myself entirely.
Each child will be aware of my deep love,
compassion and care.
And never will it be a question in their young minds.
This is my prayer to Him who listens.
That I will love drastically differently,
with all of my heart.
