Level of control

I had trouble sleeping last night. I had just fallen asleep when I started getting calls from my mother.

When I finally picked up, all she had to say was "don't put this up as your display picture!"

Lmao wtf? Don't fcking tell me what to do. Weirdo. She gets on my nerves so bad. Like how do you even respond to that?

It was your mother who loved you before you were born - who carried you for a long months close to her heart and in the fullest of time took God's hand in hers and passed through the valley of shadows to give you life. It was she who cared for you during the helpless years of infancy and scarcely less dependent years of childhood. As you have grown less dependent, she has done the countless, thoughtful, trouble-healing, helpful and encouraging things which somehow only mothers seem to know how to do. You may have accepted these attentions more of less as matters of course and perhaps without conscious gratitude or any expressions of your appreciation. You are rapidly approaching the time in life when you will be entirely independent of your mother. The ties which dependency has bound you to her may be served as you grow older, but the tie of mother-love can never be broken.
