Here's to my mother, an amazing women whom I don't know where I'd be without. It is because of her guidance and wisdom I was not killed by the dumb stuff my dad told me to do.
My mother's actually on these forums, so I can do a mother's day message here directly to her (although, she's in Florida now, so I'll have to relay the message anyway).
Happy mother's day @LovesCupcakes!
Thanks for being there for me, as a nurturer when I was a kid, and as my best friend now that i'm an adult.
Here's to you Mom, because I know if I was in your place I would have strangled me years ago.
Wow, she likes Telltale? Your mom's really cool
Mom.
I'm sorry for not doing a lot in the preceding years, I'm a stupid and selfish person, also lazy. But I am grateful. I'm grateful for the times my life looked like one big question mark, and you told me not to worry, you told me a question can only prove itself unworthy by attracting another, and taught me that the best answers are always the ones my own question gives birth to. From you I realized, that maybe asking for all the answers is like asking for the end of all meaning. And you told me... Keep asking, don't let a wrong answer stop you from returning to the right question.
Thank you for that.
I remember the difficult times. I remember the bandages, and how you were the first doctor I've been to. You diagnosed your patients with the words: "Can you show me where it hurts?", and I would sing the pain as if the melody could explain to you what's going through my head when I'm asked to "show you where it hurts". I didn't pay you with currency; most of the time payment took the form of a pitiful attempt to show gratitude, it looked something like: "Thank you". Luckily, I've learned to express myself a little better since then.
I remember the sea of tears you absorbed into your wardrobe. I remember the seemingly endless nights, and I remember how you were always there, sitting by my side, like a co-pilot who knows their shit better than I do. You always balanced me out, and made me feel happy when others never seemed to care. You told me... Not to waste my time on those who didn't care. God knows I did, God knows I still do, but all I can do is hope that your arsenal of advice never runs out. I have no idea how you can stand me, I can't seem to stand myself for a continuous period of time without feeling any self-loathing. Maybe you're not objective because you're my mother, and maybe that's the most beautiful thing about a mother's love - it's not grounded down to the laws of this world, unconditional, unbent, unbroken. One of a kind. You never kept score with me, which is something I did with you, because I was a stupid kid.
I've grown up since then, and while I'm still not what you might call "a grown up" - I have grown quite a bit, or maybe just enough to realize that your job was something I'll never be able to commit myself into. I'm not as patient, but I hope that with time, you'll teach me how to be that as well.
Mother, I don't want to think of when you're going to leave. I'm too scared that I'll choke on a last goodbye, but there'll be nobody to ask me to show them where it hurts. And as long as the factor of time continues to be the apex predator of the universe, it will strip youth from our bodies mercilessly and methodically. And the memories will live on.
So before any of that happens, let me tell you where it hurts. The healthcare here is shit, and you're the only doctor I ever hurt myself to go to, anyway.
Yeah, she likes Telltale's stuff because she likes their cinematic presentation and the jokes in their humourous games. She likes Sam & Max and Wallace & Gromit's Grand Adventures. She doesn't like Telltale's stuff with violence, but she really likes stories about fairy tale characters in modern settings, so I'm trying to get her into The Wolf Among Us. I think she can probably overlook the violence in that since I finally got her to watch one of the violent DC animated universe movies (Justice League: War) and she liked it because of the story. She does have Snow White as her avatar on the Telltale forums, so I'll probably be able to convince her to give it a try eventually.
Mother's Day, huh? Well, here goes! I guess... since I don't have the balls to go and actually say this to her face. Might as well put it down here, don't ya think? Who knows, maybe by some slim chance she'll one day decide to check out my account without my permission and discover this post or whatnot.
With that, I'm gonna start. So, Mom. We've had a rocky relationship as of late... you know this. You'd side with Dad in many of our arguments, and sometimes, it felt like you were deliberately trying to flatten me with all those high expectations of yours. You say it's to grant me a successful future. And believe it or not; I appreciate that! It's just that you tend to go about your ways a little too forcefully, you know?
I know I'm not perfect, neither. I suppose we're both at fault here, along with Dad... but this isn't about him. I want you to know that I'm sorry. I apologize for my impulsive nature, my blatant disregard for my own well-being that always ends up annoying you, and such. You're a great person. Here's to you, Mom.
My mother is a true, hardened, tough woman with a heart of gold.
She has been the victim of sevrere bullying in school, she is a cripple on account of domestic violence, she has been lied about by supposed friends and family. Nearly everyone believes that she is the villian. Yet she has managed to soldier on, encouraging me, sponsered me from cradle to now and overcome many great hurdles. I and my brother are her number one concern and she rarely ever does anything for herself and herself alone. I do not know a person more couragous, more resilient, more rescourceful, more admirable or more loving.
Here is to you, Mum. You bore me and I am proud to be your son.
Mom been dead for years. Just another day to me.
Here's to you Mom, I might give you a lot of trouble and seem ungrateful and selfish. But I love and always will love you for putting up with everything I did in years since I was born. You're simply the best person in the world. And I wouldn't be here because of you. Happy Mother's Day.
I'm in a really bad place with my mom, I hate living with her everyday because she's so strict and I can never do anything I want (And no, not going to parties or doing drugs). So this Mother's Day I got her nothing, she feels kind of sad and deep down I regret not getting her anything because she does do a lot for me but we've had so many intense fights over the last few weeks I couldnt bring myself to do it.
It sucks that my mother deserves her own island for Mother's Day yet all I can afford is a vanilla scented candle.
An earnest expression of love would probably work.
For Mother's Day, my family and I went to a Japanese Hibachi restaurant. We had some salad along with tuna rolls. I had a fried chicken strip dipped with soy sauce, and I also had a hibachi filet mignon with noodles, shrimp, vegetables and fried rice. All in all, it was very good.
...shit it was mothers day? Jk I didn't do anything with her I was at my dad's that week
Yeah, 2 days ago (it's already the 13th here).
Uh..yeah I...totally knew that... (Its still the 12th here)
Best Mother's Day ever!
j/k
l'm also one of the poor users on here who lost their mother. It was actually her 6 year anniversary just yesterday.
Well when you're a kid , no offense, but at your age you need to be told what to do. She wants you to be successful, and happy later in life. She isn't being strict to your detriment. IMO you should try to be a little more understanding on her side, especially on her day. Imagine if you had my life, one day you get a phone call that your life changed when you are nineteen. You don't get your sorry, anymore.
Just something to think about.
What she do ? Forgive her and be done with it.
That sucks, I'd say things get better, but i'd be lying.
I wouldn't let it bother you , people are going to judge you every chance they get. It is human nature to be self righteous. You have to define your self image from within, not without.
