my mom died when i was 11, so there isn't a lot i remember. There were two traits that she had that drove me bonkers, but set me up for my career in science. One was not necessarily answering questions, but helping me find the answers, the other was her telling me to make my own decisions.

@samueltyler2 I'm sorry to hear, 💐 But that's such a wonderful thing to teach you, to make your own decisions. 🌸 My mom would berate every decision I made, I began to get severe anxiety in my early 20's after decades of daily mocking or excessive criticism. It's so hard trying to find confidence now..
