"I changed, but I was too late. You two would have been so proud to see how far I come. How I wished I never slipped, that I never became so controlling. How I wished your own grand daughter never came running to you to hide from me. How I wish you never saw e turn into the monster I become, to bring shame to being a mother."

"And yet before you two finally passed away, you saw that light in me rekindle. How I wish I can draw both of you back into this mortal plane, one last time. How I wish you two can see that ember rekindle a flame. How I wish I can tether your souls for one last time, that you can rest once again knowing I have redeemed myself to my children." - Terlynn, on mourning her parents a century in.

Not the most pleasant of thoughts to cultivate during Mother's day. A reminder to show love to those you care for and to those that care for you. Treasure them while they're still there.
