If you know what being responsible for and caring for a life that depends entirely on you, be it human or otherwise, take a moment and consider what you do or give up, just so their heart can keep beating and they can continue to bring you joy.
The Life could be that of a favorite pet or woodland creatures you encounter and feed and nurture and look forward to interacting with in your daily routine. The Life that touches yours and warms your heart and gives you such pleasant memories.
A Life that makes you sad when a day or more goes by without you being together. When those days happen it turns out, it's a Life you really miss, no matter how short a time apart. Then you begin to wonder if everything is alright, though time and distance keeps you from knowing right away.
You begin to realize that as much as this Life depends on your time together for whatever reason, you too have come to depend on it being a part of your Life. Then you notice how sad you are because the more you try to arrange things differently, LIFE gets in the way of your being together.
Suddenly, as you are able to come together once again you notice, this Life managed alright without you. You are happy to see this Life survive on it's own for a time. Yet, you still long to be together. You know you'd be happier for more time together.
Now THINK...that you are one day told this Life is NO LONGER AVAILABLE TO SHARE WITH YOU...
THINK how it might FEEL to be made to think by everyone around you, that it would be BEST FOR YOU to NEVER think about or TALK about this Life that touched yours so deeply. YOU CAN'T TALK ABOUT THIS LIFE EVER AGAIN...because it makes others "feel uncomfortable" and SAD.
Now spend the rest of YOUR LIFE NOT talking about your greatest joy and the best part of your Life...and then tell me how great FOREVER feels without this LIFE IN YOURS...
NOW IMAGINE...IT'S YOUR OWN CHILD...
