Dear Mom
Dear Mom, I know it might be shocking how this letter may turn out or even that I might be writing a long-handed kind to you. I know we are not on the best of verbal terms right now but I just wanted to express somehow to you what I really saw and wish I could have seen within you as a mother. I will say that I am grateful for the lessons you have taught me, especially the ones that you had no idea were lessons for me. For example, when it boils down to my love life, I don't necessarily have the best choice and neither did you. I can never understand the strength of raising two kids alone all because some men want to have their cake and eat it too while also becoming opportunists in the long run. I wish I was more vocal about this but maybe it was the embarrassment or just the standard I told you so I was hoping to avoid. I just never saw what was the real authentic standards to find or just hope that a man would have if they would treat you in a way a woman should be treated, like a Queen.

The Apple That Fell Too Far From the Tree
Dear Mum, When I think about you, I think of a young woman lying in the dark in a narrow, thin-mattressed bed in the hospital psychiatric ward with a cot beside you. I think about your eyes opening in the darkness, watching a baby breathe. I think that you could have been a good mother if you had been given the chance, and I think, most days, that it's a blessing you may not remember those nights very well.

Mom, I do not hate you
Mom, I am sorry you feel that I hate you due to the distance between us. I need you to understand, I do not hate you, but I do hate your hypocrisy; I hate that always victimise yourself. Why is it difficult for you to be truthful? I know deep down you are not a bad person. You say I have resentment towards you, maybe I do, but I view resentment as deep hatred towards someone. I still remember so much of the things you did to me back then, but I do not hold any grudges against you. I just wish you could see yourself from my eyes.

Mothers Day 2022
Are mothers perfect? Mine was not. I was not and my daughter is not. I knew my one grandmother for just a short time and I have heard stories and to some, she appeared perfect. I know that just wasn’t true as no one is perfect. Not mothers and not fathers.

Mother's Day Gift
May 4th, 2022 Dear mom (& dad): This weekend is really going to be hard for me, as my birthday falls on Mother’s Day which kind of makes the 8th a special day for the both of us, then there’s dad’s birthday as well on the 10th I know I was a Mother’s Day gift to you. I also know I’m a twin-less twin, with the survival of the fittest…yadda, yadda. I was the winner. Big deal I would've been happier if the twin survived.

Tale of a Mother.
During this Mother’s Day week I want to pay tribute to my mother, Ruby Lee Spencer. She was born in Fort Ord, California on July 3rd, 1971. She was the youngest of three children born to Harry and Erma Spencer and she had one older brother named Harry and one older sister named Lana. In her adult life she had three children, Rudy, Joe, and Kindal and they no doubt have some of the fondest memories of her.

You Deserve to Know
You stand in an endless and still lake, thinking any baby ripples are powerful waves. You pretend the cushy, solid bottom is going to give out at any second with a current or riptide. You mistake your lovely reality for the concerns of the unknown. You wonder if anything you do is enough, you worry that you float unseen, you wish for time to move slower. But, Mom, I need you to know that we are here. The love you have given is the love you now receive. We painted the sky you see reflected in this lake. Look up. See the beauty your children are capable of, because of you. The twinkling purple, for forgiveness and healing. The pale pink, for new beginnings and hope. The bright orange, for laughter and joy. The deep blue, for promises and love. These are the strokes we made for you to admire. We have painted you a home in our hearts, as we climb ladders of self love, taught by you, our Mother.

The Independent Oldest
Dear Mom, Before even writing anything, you can probably tell that this letter is from me. I'm the only one of your children far enough away to send a letter. But yes, it's me, your oldest child. I am the child who you knew would move away and never move back. I am the child who was always eager to be alone and independent. I am the child who went to college on the other side of the continent, which was actually my second choice because I was sure going to school in Ireland would have caused you to panic. It turned out to be a good choice anyway.

Dear Mum
Dear mum, As you know this will be my very first Mother’s Day as a mum myself. I have not been a mum for as long as you have but I already know I want to do better. Do not get me wrong you are a fantastic mother; I will always endeavor to be the mum that all my kids friends feel is their own mum in a safe way like you did. However I want my kids to feel like they really can talk to me and not hold back. So here I am, trying to do better, wanting you to know what I always wanted to say.
