You know what I don’t like? I don’t like people saying “I still miss my mom and it’s been X years”
It feels like a competition and it makes me angry.
Fine. Want to make it a competition?
I win.
Know why? I haven’t even fucking finished grieving yet. I haven’t had to spend her birthday without her. Or thanksgiving. Or xmas. Or motherfucking mother’s day.
You’ve had a shit ton of practice living without your mom and – right now – I’m the goddamn valedictorian of not knowing how to get through each of those days without mine.
Also… geezus. Thanks for basically telling me that it NEVER GETS ANY EASIER. Fuck. That’s exactly what I need to hear right now when I’m eyebrows-deep in sad and hurt. Thanks a bunch!
