LATE POST!
It’s hard to not send some love to my Dear ol’ s***m Donor on days like Mother’s Day. He not only gave me life (I mean kinda) but he gave me you. There is no woman more beautiful than you, Mom...inside and out. You’re the embodiment of unconditional love. No matter what I have said or done, sometimes directed at you personally...you love me the same. We don’t have a typical mom/daughter relationship, but that is because of the life and challenges we had Together. We parented each other from when I was little until now giving each other loving advice and a different perspective. We have been so many different people until we settled into the people we are now and we have been together, just us two, through every single stage of life. Honestly, I should thank Richard...if he was even slightly a more involved dad, I could have lived a part-time nightmare but instead I got to be the person who got you everyday and got to know you better than anyone. Without him, there would have been no dark, deep, absence for you to fill with you’re bright beautiful light. I am blessed. WE were not perfect and never will be but I would not change the good or the bad, I would keep our life. At times we thrived, and at times survival for us meant something different than it does to most. All of those struggles made us strong and also compassionate. Thank you for being the best Mom and also the best Dad you could be, even though it was never meant to be your job. You did both without a single complaint, never talked bad about my dad or allowed others to do so, never let me know you needed a much needed break from time to time. You are truly beautiful, more than you know. But I promise if you ever forget, I will always remind you. To my first and most trusted Best friend, Happy Mother’s Day. I love you Bunches Oodles and Gobs.
