COMMENTS ON MOTHERHOOD
Inspiration for the story
“Motherhood is truly a remarkable gift and a privilege that I hold very close to my heart. To me, being a mother means to be fearless, to be a positive role model, to be a continuous cheerleader for every milestone my children will experience, to demonstrate the abundance of unconditional love that has no end and to cherish the countless memories that is truly priceless.”

"I remember the minute when I knew for sure.
The willows were chilling,
The face in the pool was beautiful, but not mine-
It had a consequential look, like everything else,
And all I could see was dangers: doves and words,
Stars and showers of gold-conceptions, conceptions!
I remember a white, cold wing"
