Being a mother has been one of the greatest gifts of this life. My son was born in 2001 and just weeks before September 11th. In the days that followed, I considered the pain of mothers who lost sons and daughters and the pain for a mother who bore a child who would kill.
Looking into the eyes of my beautiful son, I could not imagine not loving him, even if he were to do such a horrible thing.
I looked around me and wondered who else I had that unconditional love for and why was it so few people.
Ever since that day, I move through my life looking at the places I find it hard to keep love alive. Sometimes, that is just looking in the mirror.
