With my son, I tried not to be so judgmental and tried not to push him so hard. I didn't want him to feel that everything or that our love for him will be based on how much he has achieved.
You ask me if I love you and I choke on my reply. I'd rather hurt you honestly than mislead you with a lie.
In 1953, Mom and Dad, living in Toronto, discovered, to their shock, that Mom was expecting. I was born in June 1954. My parents, thrilled, showered me with love.
I don't want to lose my legs, you know. I don't want to be wheeled around in a wheelchair. I don't want to be attached to a catheter. I saw all that stuff happen to my father, and as much as it upset me because I loved my father so much, it also really traumatized me.
Can't we try just a little bit harder,Can't we give just a little bit more,Can't we try to understand,That it's love we're fighting for,Can't we try just a little more passion,Can't we try just a little less pride,I love you so much baby,That it tears me up inside
