Not every mother can be a mom, and not every mom gets to be a mother. It doesn't seem fair, but life can be like that. And we all just do what we can with the hand we've been dealt. But maybe every once in awhile a mom and a mother will find each other and join hands and be for the other what they can't be for themselves 'cause even if she's not ready to be a mom, a mother can be strong, and brave. She can turn 9 months into a lifetime. And turn a couple into a family. Maybe it's easier said than done. But then, being a superhero always is.
