A Greater Love
"How can I love a person so much that doesn't even exist?"
This is the question I asked myself at 3:30 this morning.
I never truly understood the love a mother has for her children until the wee hours of the morning this morning. I woke up crying from a nightmare and my husband was there to comfort me. My nightmare lead me to gushing my feelings about conceiving a child and the possibility of fostering a child if we couldn't conceive.
I went to the doctors office yesterday to get my medicine and my menstrual cycle regulated. My husband went with me. I explained to him what the doctor told me. He then proceeded to talk about fostering or adoption. To me, if seemed as if he was giving up on trying to conceive a baby. The thought of that killed me.
Back to 3:30am. My husband said he would worry about my health during and after pregnancy. I told him that I wouldn't be worried about myself, I'd be worried about the baby. That a child would be the most important thing in the world to me. At that very moment... it HIT ME! A mothers love is beyond great. I haven't ever conceived a child, but I felt a love for a nonexistent child at 3:30 in the morning.
A mothers love is a greater love. ❤️
“We love because he first loved us.”
