That is so beautiful!! The bonds between us mothers and our children are so important and when u realize that your child is in tune with your feelings despite the fact that we try to hide it, shows that they have intuition and really know us better than we assume they do. my 8 year old notices when i am really depressed and on those days he is extra affectionate with me. he tells me he loves me every chance he gets. without my kids i wouldn't have the will to fight this demon that has come to make my life so difficult. i am so proud to be a mother because it keeps me on check. not only do my children depend on me but i depend on them as well. so funny that we have our children and are ultimately responsible for their well being. Yet we can also depend on them to lift our spirits and make it through the days.
