    So heart-wrenching–sometimes we have to be selfless, even if it aches.

    Wow.. As selfless as only a mother can be. And, all she is expecting is a letter from her baby, that baby, which may not even be aware of the truth, the sacrifice. The mother may very well know that she ain’t receiving a letter, but, her longing for a letter, symbolizes her love, pure, unconditional love. Wow.
