Day 24 — Given the choice between having to live the rest of my life without my voice, or living the rest of my life without the ability to hear, I would choose…
Ahhhhh I hate these. This is just like the unlimited time/unlimited money post.
Selfish me wants to say that I would rather hear. I want to hear my little boy tell me he loves me for the first time. I want to hear every story he wants to tell. I want him to feel heard.
But Mama me knows that I'd infinitely rather he hear how much I love him.
And I'm left to wonder how I'd answer these questions were I not a mother. Do I have opinions anymore that aren't tied to the rest of my son's life?
Don't worry about motherless opinions. The only thing that matters is that he is in your life and you have the best job in the world. I liked your answer by the way.
ReplyDeletethank you :)
DeleteI wager the answer to that is no but I don't think there is one thing wrong with that. We answer these questions as our lives *dictate* - by the ways we live them with the people, places, and things that are important to us.
ReplyDeletefair enough :)
