The protagonist reflects on her belief that a mother's love should remain constant throughout her children's lives, regardless of their age. She considers that the need for love and support becomes more significant as children grow older, rather than diminishing. This perspective challenges the notion that infants require more affection and care than older children.

In her observations at the hospital, she finds that while babies are straightforward to care for, older children face more complex needs, and unfortunately, they often receive less love and attention from others as they age. This highlights a societal issue where the affection granted to children wanes as they grow up, despite their increasing need for support.
