- She is literally always there when I need her
- She lets me not believe in god/ghosts/afterlife/souls without too much hassle
- She really appreciates the things that I love
- She cooks for me
- When I couldn't drive she would take me everywhere
- She sacrifices for my happiness everyday
- Sometimes she notices that I throw my dish in the sink without washing it and she doesn't say anything
- She doesn't tell me to clean my room that much
- She lets me chill with my friends all I want
- She lets me do my own thing/ live my own life
- She tries really hard to understand me
- She knew me when I didn't know myself
- She put me into a really good school district
- A lot of what she does revolves around making me and my brothers happy
- I used to be her dad in a past life

Does she read your blog?
I'm sure she would love this.
I'm not saying it doesn't when I ask, "How does this entry fit you Daffodil Project?"
I have been planning to write my mom as well - a real letter, mailed and all. Who does that anymore?
All the things I've done so far I've never done before, this included.
She has read some of my entries, but I;m not sure if she's seen this one. I'm trying to not seek reward for my deeds. haha
Well, I have read it now...and I do LOVE it! As I was reading the last one, I remembered Marcus being 2 1/2 years old and looking up at me and very boldly and quite confidently, telling me, "Mommy, I used to be your dad." He was incredibly serious as he often was and still is. It would have been difficult to not let the child who analyzed the world from a young age and questioned everything that others would just accept as truth, learn to research the world around him. I cannot recall at what age I began to call him, "the thinker", but it fit him perfectly.
I do wish Marcus would NEVER leave a dish in the sink and that his room would ALWAYS be clean. However, all of that pales in comparison to my desire to see him happy, to find his niche in life, and to always seek his own truth and his own identity and to never let the world dictate to him who he is...
Thank you for writing this, Marcus...
