your mother Lydia, gave birth to you… however, she didn’t cut your umbilical cord… you were permanently attached to her.

she was very protective of you, not letting you do anything, keeping you close to her, homeschooling you. Showering you with love but panicking whenever you asked to go outside without her

you were playing with your toys on the floor, your mother sitting on the couch, knitting a warm outfit for you. She pulls the umbilical cord, dragging you along with her

C’mon sweetie… mommy needs to go and buy more yarn… now stay close to me and don’t wander off and no talking to other people… and don’t touch anything you shouldn’t… actually don’t touch anything at all… just stay huddled close to me…

she hugged you and kissed you protectively, you knew this too well. Your mother would constantly drag you around on your umbilical cord connected to her
