Now that I am in your shoes with different size I understand why you did what you did.
This Journey call motherhood is not an easy one, you had a lot to carry I guess  that why you had to leave me behind.
Well let me tell you about her, she is a fusion of me and her dad. I wouldn’t say that I was ready for her but she was ready for me.
I asked God that “why would you let me be a parent when I have never been parented by my own parents?”
He said “you are going to parent yourself through that child, you are going to be a mother that you wanted your mother to be to you”. Well I have to say being my own mother is not easy maybe that’s why you did what you did.
As  I said before i am my mother’s child not my mother
