“Sometimes when you pick up your child you can feel the map of your own bones beneath your hands, or smell the scent of your skin in the nape of his neck. This is the most extraordinary thing about motherhood - finding a piece of yourself separate and apart that all the same you could not live without.”
Aw, I can't wait to be a mom and relate fully to these beautiful words. Really, motherhood changes a person in a hundred ways. And I'm ready for that.
Great to hear that from you! Truly it's the best experience a woman could ever have. It's a blessing that completes a person. And I have the same insights as yours - I'm so ready to have that despite the challenges and difficulties ahead of us!
The mother-child relationship is paradoxical and, in a sense, tragic. It requires the most intense love on the mother's side, yet this very love must help the child grow away from the mother, and to become fully independent.
- Erich Fromm
