A Mystery

"There is nothing more thrilling in this world, I think, than having a child that is yours, and yet is mysteriously a stranger"

Agatha Christie

The Goat

The Thunderstorm

One summer evening during a violent thunderstorm a mother was tucking her small boy into bed. She was about to turn off the light when he asked with a tremor in his voice, "Mommy, will you sleep with me tonight?" The mother smiled and gave him a reassuring hug. "I can't dear," she said. " I have to sleep with Daddy." A long silence was broken at last by his shaking little voice, "The big sissy."

Hug

A Mother

“The moment a child is born, the mother is also born. She never existed before. The woman existed, but the mother, never. A mother is something absolutely new.”
