Despite the terrible pains and disappointments that we face during the pandemic, life must continue. We must get used to the new ways of being that define the ‘new normal’. It is a burden that must be carried and enjoyed, much like pregnancy.

The man is like the roof covering of the building and the woman is the wall or pillars that support the roof. Despite the terrible pain she suffers, she still caresses her man. Though it's not easy, they love carrying out their responsibilities.

This painting is dedicated to all responsible fathers and faithful mothers.
