This was the first year in maybe 10, 15 years that I actually felt like I could celebrate Mother's Day.
My mom passed away when I was about 10 (#fyoucancer).
10.
What 10 year old is prepared to be without their mom? I mean, sure she had her moments and she yelled at me and probably was a total b-word, but she was my mom. She was the one who taught me how to sing, how to dance, how to just let loose and live in the moment. She painted all the time, and she made the best grilled cheese sandwiches and goddamnit do I ever miss her.
So yesterday, Yondu and I just listened to some of her old mixtapes, drank beer, swapped stories.... it was frickin' hard but you know what? Glad I got the old man around. This way, she's never really gone, not when there's at least two people who still think about her and miss her.
Thanks, Yondu. For an old, cranky, ugly man, you're pretty okay sometimes.
But only sometimes.
