I held onto a lot of resentment towards my mom for a long time, but she didn't deserve it. As much as I grew up lonely and afraid when I was a kid, she was always my favorite person. Although my memories of feeling abandoned are strong, there are so many good memories I overlook. Do you remember, mom? When we would go to the video store, and we would rent The Phantom Tollbooth, or The Cat From Outer Space, or The Apple Dumpling Gamg? Oh all the old 70's and early 80's movies. I would lay on the floor in front of the tv and laugh and play and I was happy. And you were my mom, and we had each other.
I remember now. I'm sorry for only remembering the bad times; the afraid and angry times. You struggled, and I didn't know because I was a kid. But I remember that you loved me.
