When Is A Mother Called Mother? And When Is A Father Called Father?

By Author Didi Tillson


Are we using the term (mother/father) as just a word or for its true meaning? What is a mother? Who is a father? When should we call mother, mother? Or, father, father? Is mother/father just the word, or is a mother/father one who cares, love, and nurtures that child? Does anyone who has not experienced mother/fatherhood or parental guidance for a child or children, actually know how it feels to step into another pair of shoes and wear them?

There are women who give birth to children, and are not necessarily a mother figure, and do not deserve to be considered a mother. Especially, when a stepmother, stepfather, or extended family members, (when the mother or father has passed away) have been more a parent to the children or child, and receive no gratitude, not from society or the child. And, I have not mentioned the Big Brother, Little League, Girl Scouts, Boys & Girls Club of America, YMCA, YWCA, and other organizations who take on a parental image just to keep these children off the streets.

I took a leap of faith and wrote my first book entitled “A Need For Love”. It is a story, which, unfortunately, too many women/men can relate to. The book has been well received by critics, those who love to read, those who have been inspired to tell their life story and those who simply enjoy reading a good book.

“A Need For Love” depicts the traumatic life of a woman from newborn to maturity and how she encounters and overcomes abuse and adversity growing up in an unnatural environment.

Given away five days after birth, never knowing her mother or father, an overbearing prideful and bitter foster mother with whom throughout her early years raises her, in constant conflict.

In spite of the bitterness between her foster mother and herself, she (until the end of time), valued her mother as her mother, in view of the fact that she was the only mother she knew.

"A Need For Love" is a story with the potential for a smash hit movie that will inspire confidence, healing and coming to terms with one’s spirituality. This topic will be shared with CNN, Twitter, Myspace, Facebook, Rev. Al Sharpton, Tavis Smiley and more.

This is in respect for not only my novel, but also for the late, Michael Jackson, and his children. They were his children, and sperm donors do not have a right to claim child/children that they did not raise.
Let us now appreciate those who take on a parental title, without being blood related. When there is a need, are we doing our greatest deed?

Your opinions are accepted to help facilitate an issue that is extremely important to children who are being cared and love by foster, and care providers.

Peace & More Love To our children, and those who are true
parents and not connected by blood, but by the grace of
God, the children are loved.

They say, “Blood is thicker than water.” Without Water you will surely die.”

Peace & blessing to us all. Especially the children who are fortunately to have an outsider raise them, and give them the love and care, they deserve!
