Choosing and Chosen

The challenge of having two mothers: One who has given you life and one who has given you everything else.

Mothers have their demands. They always seem to come with brothers and sisters. And I am always called to be bound in solidarity and community with one family or the other.

Mothers are uninhibited. They make these claims.

So what happens when the claims of these two mothers of mine cannot be reconciled.

I have to choose.
