This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for May 13, 2007:
She brought me into the world to be the amazingly, brilliant human being I'm meant to be.
She nurtured my creative gifts and talents; made me believe that I could, and can, do anything; encouraged me to dance to the beat of the drum I heard; raised me as a Montessori child with vision and a strong self-esteem; taught me to love fully and embrace others with "everyone you touch is meant to learn something from you, or you're meant to learn something from them"; taught me to garden, tend to things and watch them grow; taught me the love of reading, perpetual growing and learning; embrace animals and love them being in my life. I love that she gave me a plethora of life experiences: dance, theatre, art, museums, openess to others that are different than myself, see the beauty in everything, taught me design, gave me space to create, allowed me to be...
I love you Moth, wherever you are. I thank you for giving me the gifts you gave me, during the difficult times in your life, when you should have done things to nurture you to become the brilliant woman you were meant to be in this world, for this lifetime. Thank you for sacrificing the happiness you were meant to have to raise me and Davey. Thank you for believing in me and being the 'carpool Mom', back and forth to dance studios and living on the freeways of LA. I am changing the world because of your petri-dish. You've raised a woman who shares her gifts, love and uniqueness with the world.
After reading MsCapriKell's appreciation for her Mother, I felt I must edit, or add to, my blog. My Mother is a sociopath, so from about 17 years old till today at 45, I've not had a relationship with my Mother. I've tried, and have made a choice to not have her in my life because it's been too painful. She's stolen from me, physically and emotionally abused her mother (I cannot watch her treat my Gran that way), or decided to live a chaotic lifestyle that isn't in sync with peaceful choices I've made for this life. Through much therapy, I've given up and mourned the opportunity to have a biological Mom that's available for me. She's chosen to live a 'James Bond life', lying to people, committing while collar crimes, being arrested, impersonating me, stealing my identity, and being someone she's not. Yet the world owes her for her problems, everyone is wrong but her, it's my father's fault for divorcing her, my fault for drawing a healthy boundary with her, "why are you doing this to me?". I don't believe she'll ever 'get it' in this lifetime. I say a prayer for her every day. I know I will always love her for bringing me into the world and giving me the pieces she gave me to take flight on my own.
