for mother's day

when i was still in grad school my mom would send me random care packages - shampoo, adobo seasoning, scissors. i'd get the box and would have no idea what i'd find inside.

one day, she sent me a birthday card with this clipping inside. inside the card, she'd written: 'this reminds me of you and makes me laugh.'

jesus.
now i've gotten all teary-eyed at work.

It sounds like your mom really rocked, ding.

thanks, orange.
yeah, she did.
more than my dad, my mom 'got me.'

i still have that clipping in a photo box, too.
