dear mom
i feel compelled in this moment to write to you and tell you a few things that i have been feeling lately.
nearly daily, i have been shot through, overwhelmingly in moments, with the shining wisdom and brilliance of you. you are so strong, so clear, and so full of love. it pours forth from you, every single pore of you, and i am so blessed, humbled, and awestruck that i have you, wonderful you, as my mother.
so, whether any of the people you always wished would tell you that you did a good job ever do tell you - know this: you have done the most amazing job, and i still gain knowledge and wisdom from you each and every day. and each and every day, i love you more. i appreciate you - for who you are, and for what you have given me, and the world.
thank you. yours is a life well-lived.
love,
lovie
ps. there is not one lick of alcohol in me, just so ya know.

nothing specific happened, mom. i have just had a few instances and have noticed things - mainly other people's relationships with their mothers - that make me be very thankful for the mother i have.

I know I have said this before, but my mom died when I was 15. I still miss her deeply. I know she is with me everyday though, I can feel her guide me. I have this tendency to adopt mothers, and I always watch people and how they relate to their mothers, and it makes me happy when I see good relationships.
It is so wonderful to see how supportive you are of each other.
