Dear Kevin:

You wrote that you know how it is to grow up without a mother’s love. I suppose you imagine what a mother’s love would be like, for a boy growing up.

I am so sorry your mother committed suicide. And I am sorry you grew up without a mother’s love.

I grew up without a mother’s love. My mother was there, but she wasn’t loving, unfortunately, for me and for her. It is very unfortunate, because love could have benefited her and me. It could have prevented so much suffering in my life.

A mother’s love, how do you imagine it to be?
