Dear Mom.

For whatever reason, you aren't super touchy-feely the way most women tend to be.  I'm sure if you wanted me to know those reasons, you'd have told me.  It doesn't matter to me.  I just had to add a little message on here after the previous post to let you know that you are my rock.  I know that no matter what I say, or how I feel, you love me, you support me, you understand, you don't jump to conclusions.  You are level-headed with a heart of gold.  There are so many ways I wouldn't be here if not for you.  You can never know.  I would not have made it this far if you weren't there to listen to me without judgement, to affirm my feelings and call me on the bullshit.  To let me know that what I'm feeling is ok, and normal, and sometimes shared by others involved.

I love you.

Knowing all the things above, and that you'd read this in the morning, kept me alive tonight.
