“Listen, Mom. I know you are tired. I know you have fought. I know you are beaten, but that doesn’t mean you need to give up. I’m fifteen, and you are my role model. You’re the only person that has cared.” “It wasn’t your fault he left. He left me too. I know you needed him. For support. For love. For help with me. Now you are following him in the dark spiral to the grave, and I can’t stand by. Nope. Not this time.” “Get your butt out of bed, throw away the hate, the resentment. Throw away the embarrassment, the guilt, the sorrow. Throw it all away. Throw it all away, for me. Be the mom you are supposed to be. Be a mom to me. I’m worth it.” “I can’t go on like this. I can’t watch you die. It’s been three years, Mom. Three years since we changed roles. Three years since we saw him one last time. It was raining. From the sky. From my face. I’m not going to let that happen again. I can’t.” “Today is a new day. The sun will shine. Birds will sing. The sun will set. Today is day one. We’ll worry about tomorrow, tomorrow. I love you.”
