Last night I saw the new movie, “Changeling” with my friend Lydia. It was two and a half hours long and I did not want it to end. And it didn’t hurt that Angelina Jolie is one of my favorite actresses.
After the movie, I went home and crawled into bed with my son and just held him. I cannot imagine anything happening to Gabriel. If I was too emotional for my own good, I wouldn’t be able to see movies like that.
Gabe is the light of my life. Without him, I wouldn’t be half the person I am today. It just really upsets me when I hear of stories and/or situations when all the mother does is think about herself. When you become a mother, it is not about you anymore. It is about your child, and your responsibility to take care of him/her and do everything in your power to make sure that things stay that way. This subject is near and dear to my heart. When I see mothers throwing away their lives for their own selfish reasons, I just can’t imagine how it’s even possible! (Sorry for my rambling.) My love for my son, my little angel, is so strong that I could never not think about him. The love is so overwhelming that when I think about how much I love my son, it brings tears to my eyes almost every time.
Anyway, the point is that the movie I saw last night showed a true love that a mother has for her son. That she would do anything and everything, even endure hellish pain, all for the sake of her son.
Why don’t all mothers feel that way?
