Thanks For Pushing!

^{I really appreciate it!}

I know I started out as a bloody mess and things haven't really changed, but hey! We made it!

I'm so damn proud of you, mom.

I know, it's Mother's Day.

^{Soon we'll be eating Chinese food because you love that stuff so much.}

I like it, too. Thanks for teaching me about chicken balls.

I have to get serious though, for a moment.

I don't really have much time to write today. I spent most of my free time today working on art, again, plus visiting.

For those of you who don't know, about a year ago, I spilled the beans. Long story short, my mom was diagnosed with cancer. Things got scary on this end. I had to turn my back on the place for awhile and take care of business.

It's been well over a year since that battle started. She's still with us. Every test since then; cancer free. She kicked cancer's ass.

For a long while, I was preparing myself. I didn't give up hope but at the time, I needed to be realistic and honest with myself. I didn't think I'd be sitting here with my mom, in 2018, on Mother's Day.

But here we are.

^{And the food is on it's way.}

Thanks for pushing forward, putting up a fight, and giving us the second chance to be together.

I love you, mom.

You're awesome!

Thank you.
