What a stunning piece. While my mother is still here, she’s been living with the effects of brain cancer — dementia and Parkinson’s — for many years. As a son, I had a similar pull to speak with her when my partner was expecting. I still do, even after our daughter‘s arrival. I don’t think that will ever go away. I do know that my daughter has given my work new meaning. It’s given my writing purpose. It’s made me fight harder for the things I love, as well as the things I believe to be true and good. And the same has been true for my wife. Quite possibly none of this helps, but this was a beautiful essay and I appreciate, as always, your wisdom and truth.
