A Bad Relationship With Mom. Top Story - April 2022.
Mothers. We need them. But so often we find them to be the source of great pain and anguish, from our adolescence to late adulthood. Relationships with moms are hard and can be tricky. Often times they fizzle out into a distant talk or rare communications until you begin to realize that every time you see her, she ages.

Jimmy and the Ancient One
Little Jimmy ran through the downpour back to his mother and thirty-two siblings. He lives underneath an old abandoned canoe near a riverbank on the Native American Reservation. Jimmy had a large pink nose and whiskers that strung out on each side of his face, a long tail, and a thick fur coat. His eyes were yellow and he ran on all fours. Jimmy is a mouse, a field mouse, and he and his family spend every day scrounging for food, and avoiding eagles and other birds that share the territory. Jimmy is 6 months old, middle-aged for his kind. He is the oldest of all his siblings, and his parents are each 12 months, on the doorstep of death. Jimmy only sleeps a few hours each night. The stress of how he is going to feed himself and his siblings always weighs heavy on his shoulders, not to mention the constant fear of being snatched up at any moment by birds. On a cold morning, Jimmy's dad called for him. He coughed and told Jimmy that in order to keep his family alive, he must learn the secrets of the fields.
