TM 178 Mommy

I have a mother, her name is May Parker.

Do I ever wonder what it would have been like if my parents hadn't died. Sure, there's no one strong enough to completely avoid imagining what changes would have come with different choices along the way. Sometimes when I have been hurt and tired I've wondered would my life be different now if my parents were here with me.

I know I would have been a different person without my Aunt May and Uncle Ben. I know I've said it before but it remains the truest thing in my life. The choices I make, the things I am, they are all because of the example of the two people I think of as my parents. To me the words Aunt and Uncle mean so much more than mother and father because they are the ones who were there for me.

I am learning to like the person I've become without giving in to the temptations of an inflated ego over it. It's easy to lose yourself when you are surrounded by admiration. It's like a drug to see yourself through the eyes of others. If Aunt May wasn't here to remind me that her Peter Parker is just fine without being any more than he already is I'm not sure I'd stay grounded.
