A sentence connected with a comma?

I have come to read the sentences as below, please explain or paraphrase what the author tried to say in the last sentence.

When I finished he said, "Thanks, Mom. I liked that one the best."
He climbed off my lab and went back to his toys.
The warm comforting feeling again swept over me, a love that I knew wasn't coming only from my son.

Thanks!!

hetty He climbed off my lab lap and went back to his toys. hetty The warm comforting feeling again swept over me, a love that I knew wasn't coming only from my son. Given the context, this makes no sense unless the boy was not the woman's child, but in that case, I don't know why he called her "Mom".

The boy is the woman's son. The woman is blind and trying to read a story to a boy who doesn't know that his mom has lost sight. I will give you more context.

I hesitantly opened the cover, trying to remember the words to one of his stories. "The sun did not shine," I said slowly. I felt him take the book and turn it in my hands. I'd been holding it upside down! "It was too wet to play,
