I realize I never knew love of this kind or capacity existed and it’s beautifully overwhelming to process. I now wholeheartedly understand everything my mum has ever said to me about a mother’s love being unlike any other. You know, that whole ‘you’ll understand when you have kids’ thing parents say when they are fussing over you. It’s all there now. I will love him and worry about him until my last breath and beyond.”
