"You did an amazing thing by letting her find her way in life and now she's come back to you because of it. That's something great." she paused and debated whether to share this and decided why not, "My Dad.. he never knew my mom was pregnant with me, he didn't find out till recently. And my mom loved him so much.. but every time she'd look at me, she'd just seem really sad. And I think it's cause I reminded her so much of him and how he wasn't around anymore. But sometimes.. I'd do something and she'd just be amazed. And she'd tell me I was just like him. And it's like for a moment.. she'd have him back with her." she swirled her cookie in her cup of tea until it just dissolved.
