If you were put in the arms of a woman who took it on herself to be your mom, that’s the person who made sure you stayed alive. She fed you. You peed on her. You threw up on her. And she still took care of you, talked to you, and got you to the point where you could do more for yourself. So she was the first connection in your life. When you’re a kid, you never think about that relationship coming to an end. Even as you get older, you don’t let your mind fully accept that she’s not going to be there someday.
