...and i choose to love my mom, continuously. The older i get the more i understand her choices. I think, also, she has obviously evolved, taken accountability over the years and i'm really proud of how far we've come. We are all deeply flawed, but it's what we do with it, towards others, that really matters imo and my mom has led her whole life applying that logic, sometimes erroneously but with full intention.
Wouldn't have been able to see that in my 20's but i am so grateful to have her in my life as we are now, and i look back at all our fights and tears with gratitude, because we were able to work through it, and choose each other through it all. I look forward to whatever comes next!
