Mommy

[abetterlie]

Mere stopped calling her that when she was three, because I didn't anymore, and she wanted equal sibling rights. Which was totally a Mere thing to do, even at age three. Mom looked sort of wistful. That day, Dad guilt tripped me into calling her "Mommy" again so Mere would have to a while longer, but Mom was on to him and said to stop that nonsense

Sad.

She wasn't, though. She was great. I just wish I'd have had the guts to just tell them the truth. You were right back then.

You never made the post you were supposed to. >:-O

Kara, the definition was "recently". If you strike the recently, I can write a post. Is it okay with you if I mention going as Darla and the Master in Vegas, or should I lock that for your eyes only?

I only met the Rileys briefly, but they seemed like lovely people.

I remember being puzzled at why Angel was so eager to take you on as a protege, after initially wanting to turn down the case.

You did very well by yourself that day; I remember that much.

I'm not sure I can say the same for myself.

You were really nice to my parents and me. I mean, you tried to help us, we were complete strangers who got you into trouble with your boss, and then you still tried to help us while trying to figure out what the hell was going on.

*locked*

Sometimes - sometimes I wish you hadn't broken that thing that gave us our memories back. But I get why you did it, and anyway, most times I'm glad you did. If I couldn't remember my parents would probably still be alive, but I wouldn't have been there to help Angel with that Terminator imitation, and I'd never have seen him and Darla again, and why does it always come down to choices between parents? And I wouldn't be where I'm now, and with whom, and I would never wish that away.
