Write about your Mother (Or somebody else’s mother.)
Mom was where my world began.
She always used to treat me like I was something special, like no-one and nothing had anything on me. She used to tell me stories, tuck me into bed and reassure me that no matter what she would always love me.
Zak came along and I remember being scared, scared that my mom wouldn’t love me as much as she used to because she had another child. Only she never stopped loving me, I think she could sense my nerves and she made sure I never felt alone or left out.
I know my mom had flaws, we all have flaws. They make us human, even though there was a time when I was pretty sure my mom wasn’t human, I thought for the longest time that she was some kind of ethereal being.
Childhood innocence and devotion but I remember it as clear as day.
When things got rough and she started putting pressure on my shoulders I didn’t hold it against her, my dad was gone and someone needed to look after Zak. She gave me the role of protective big brother, one I took very seriously.
I watched my parents fight and I saw the divorce papers, they didn’t think I was looking but I was, and then my family - the one thing I had always been so sure of was ripped away.
My mother got custody of Zak and I, my father would visit occasionally, busy schedule but mom, she was always there. She didn’t let us down, she was strong and she was determined.
I like to think I’m like her in a lot of ways but Zak, he was a mirror image and sometimes I was jealous of him. I had more in common with my father and that scared me back then.
Then she found someone else and I’ve never seen her so happy, I was too young to remember my parents before the bickering got to be too much. I was happy for her, she was going to find the happiness that she deserved but it didn’t happen.
Frakking Cylons took away her happily ever after, I hate them for that and I hate myself for leaving her behind to die.
I’m sorry, mom.
