Homage to mother: the parent who creates comfort for others at the expense of her own physical and mental wellbeing. She'd give her right arm for her family, her child. She sacrifices and is praised for her selflessness. All the while she fears her efforts are not enough, not appreciated, not noticed or valued. She never questions her belief that she must hold up and and hold together everything and everyone else. She fears looking after herself and her own needs — because then she will look selfish.
