You once asked me if I am not aware of your love for me. The so praised motherly love, the so adherent love you harbor for your own mother, my Nano Jan. As usual I did not know how to answer that question, partly because I know that as an obligation, as a Pflicht, you do love me but also because you never let me feel loved by you.
