Who else can love like that?

My son said the strangest thing to me yesterday. But it has been pounding in my head ever since. He said "If something happens to you, I won't have anyone."
I almost started crying. I was speechless. I just had no idea what to say to my little boy. Because, in a big way, he is right.

I mean, who has enough love for him to do all the things that I do? Who knows each and every fear of his..and how to make EVERYTHING better. Who will go outside and tell one of the neighborhood kids to leave him alone if they are bothering him..and know that I am NOT PLAYING WITH THEIR ASSES? Who will know what the right thing to do is in any given situation? Who will always, ALWAYS have his back like I do? Who will get up in the middle of the night to make him oatmeal? Who will tell him the truth when he asks "will this hurt?" as I am about to clean a cut, or pull his tooth? Who will go to his school and say "I am on his side..and I will ALWAYS be on his side?" Who will tell him 'no' and stick to it, no matter how long he stares with them puppy eyes?

I know who. NO ONE. 'Cus I am his MOTHER. and thats how I do it.

He knows it, and I know it.
