Man, I never saw it coming
With just one glance, I was his
Now he calls me mommy
How do we explain
How will he know
Just why I
Had to
Go

Gosh this one broke my heart so much!
Oh, that is so sad. 😢

Heart wrenching story about love of a son and a mom
Heartbreakingly beautiful! I've felt that impact on both sides.
Oh, this is heartbreaking. I'm so glad you brought out the perspective of a child caught in a crossfire. Breakups have an impact beyond the romantic partners.
