Explanation

As the creation of the child in the mother’s womb is amazing in itself, it is equally wonderful for both the mother and the child. With the nine months that they are together, it is inevitable that the child and the mother will form a beautiful bond with each other. Everything that the mother eats, drinks, and breathes also goes to the human being inside her. One can truly say that the child is part of the mother, and the mother is part of the child—in other words, they are one. That is why when the mother finally gives birth, then it is like she’s giving birth to something that is a part of her. Something that is as vital as heart, something that will always be part of heart. And even that child will grow up and be on his own, he will always be that human being once literally and emotionally part of his mother.
