A tangible and literal unconditional love

A tangible and literal unconditional love

Please pardon the imagery if this is sensitive for you. Witnessing my wife breastfeed my son and learning how a mom’s breastmilk can adapt its nutrients based on the needs of the child is nothing short of amazing.

I would even go as far as saying that it is a tangible and literal form of unconditional love – the baby cries, then the mother gives without expecting anything in return. The body produces just the right nutrients to nourish not one’s own body but another.

Three months of sleepless nights into raising my son, we’ve already gone through challenges. I realize and am grateful for all the things that went right for my son to continue being healthy and resilient against various illnesses (we just came home from the hospital). So many things have to fall into place to nourish a baby.

And nothing is as compelling as witnessing my wife truly become a mother, ready to care and nourish our son.

John 6:51-58. I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats this bread, he will live for ever.
