The actual mother is making the sacrifices she needs to, for the child's survival and future, and the caregiver is helping to nurture the child day by day. Very sweet and powerful.

So emotionally tender. Even more, I appreciate the artful use of poem prose to create a brief moment in time story arc. Great choice to turn the Mother's Day story on its side to show the caregiver as mother, even when the real mother must be doing her doggedest to provide. It shows the struggle of both parent and child so well. Big time kudos on this one, Mariana!Debra Marrshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09052734665414193711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6847825514463125840.post-28977633620855918122010-05-07T14:54:53.825+02:002010-05-07T14:54:53.825+02:00It's so hard for young children to understand ...It's so hard for young children to understand the harsh realities of life.
