This is the third part of my stream of consciousness. I contemplated on what transpires next in this evolving relationship between our beloved children and ourselves. You see, it might change in texture and in context to the many things that captivate their attention and and seem to carry them into a world without us. This is all part of the divine plan. It all happens in stages of our life’s journey. We conceive, we carry them in our womb, we birth them, we deliver them, we care for them through their infancy, we guide them through childhood, we nurture them through puberty, we stand for them through their young adulthood. We are never really completely void of their essence in our lives and our essence will always be a part of their lives.

You see it is my feeling that the “umbilical cord has two separate dimensions. There is the physical form and the spiritual form. As part of the birthing process, the physical umbilical cord is cut. However, the spiritual cord continues to reside in the breath of life that developed in the sacred womb between mother and child. It is the element between mother and child that allows a mother to communicate with their child even when they are not in the same physical space. It is the element that translates their communication between each other. It senses when there is discord or when their child needs them. It translates the “looks” – “texture of the sound of their voice that tells mom when something is array. Fathers can develop their own connection with their child that is uniquely theirs, but it takes the investment of time and authentic love. I say authentic love because children have a 6th sense about people and know when they are truthfully themselves.

Children need the love expressions that both parents can offer because the are not the same. Every child will have a different relationship with each of their parents. So I don’t want fathers to in any way think their love for their child is not essential! I just know that what a mother has experienced with the giving life to a child or taking on the role of a mother is inherently unique. The bottom line is that there will always be a connection between parent and child that is vital and eternal. It is a lifetime commitment.
