CLS.

Holidays, of any kind, bring a sense of guilt to me.

Before my mother passed, I was a bit of a mess.

Even though I was younger and in my teenager wasteland phase, I still was a twit.

I know everyone has regret but I feel mine isn't something I can just accept, it's something I must carry, and I do.

Mother's day memories consist of me and my sister, making it about us and somehow turning, what once was an enjoyable, selfless day, into a intolerable, selfish one.

If I could tell my mom three things today it would be,

1. Thanks for always supporting me.

2. You brought light to many peoples lives.

3. You were the masterpiece of a mother figure with the framework of the Lord; I love you.
