(no subject)
I think when a lot of people say their family is their lives, they don't really mean it. You branch out, you get your own lives, you leave the nest. That's real life. You can't prevent it. But just because you got a life of your own and you're building your own world, doesn't mean you got to forget where you came from and who helped push you to where you are.
I see so many of my friends with families of their own that have moved away from their small town homes, and they only see their mother's once a year. Not because they too busy with what they got, or ain't got the money, or they didn't have a good parental relationship with their parents, they just don't make the trip. They forget we won't have our parents for good.
I don't even want to be like that, man. No matter how involved in music and my career that I get, I don't want to want to leave my mother behind and forget her just because I got married or had some kids. My mother is, in a lot of ways, my whole life. She took care of me when I was brought up, and now that I'm grown, I do the same for her. She's always been there when I needed her to be, and she'd kick me into shape when I was going off the wrong end. I don't live with my mom, but if I'm in New York I check on her every day. If I'm out the state, I make sure to call her. She looked out for me, I want to look out for her. I don't know what I'd do if I ever lost her.
Happy Mother's Day, mi madre.
And to the rest of you, I'll try not to make the next update so emotional.
