Anyone who had/has a kind mother....

She really loved her kids me being one of them, a piano teacher also who formed deep friendships with whole families, she was always more than what she was doing on the surface, being wholly there. She also battled depression, not feeling worthy of things, and also feeling like she was going crazy with me and dad being ourselves. We both felt same things in regard to dad, and we'd often share about that, mom was deeply down in the dumps for how messy we were, she would have liked a tidy place, if we would have had that, she would've had a lot less sadness i am sure.

i've been shaped by her in how i open the windows to get an airflow going in hot summer months, we never had AC, and general sense of decency in the areas not covered by dad.
