the rest is silence
I love my mother.
I call her Maman, but in my head I still call her Mommy.
I can remember when she knew everything and could do anything.
I always squirmed when she held me.
I'll never do it again. I promise.
I love you, Maman.

I love you, too. I don't mean to go all biblical, but I feel like (loosely) quoting, "Lord, take this cup away from me." I so wish I didn't have to walk this path. And that you all also didn't have to walk it with me. I am so sorry that this is happening.

Thank you. It is nice to know I won't be alone. I just feel bad for leaving you alone. Love each other; forgive all and everything. Pain makes us do stupid, painful things. Forgive each other.
