As he yawns, I catch his sweet, milky breath through my nose. It fills me with devotion. Learning new ways to love him and teach him to live with his eyes open will surely be my greatest creative achievement. Letting him see the world in all its cruelty will surely be my greatest pain. I am his mother.
