I had a mother. She was awful, hateful, raging and jealous of me from the moment I could walk. I'm glad you mothered yourself and mothered your children so well they are full of joy. I'm sorry we didn't have mothers we deserved or mothers at all. I wish I had what you wished for too. You are a wonderful human and writer.

This is beautiful. And just to say — you’ve been a literary mother to so many of us ❤️
