My mom was the perfect mother... she instilled confidence in us but still punished us if we misbehaved to make sure we grew up to be good people. When my mother was taken from me, it really left a dent in my mind. I began feeling vengeful at times, sad at other times, but above all... I just never understood why it had to be my brother and I who lost everything. My mom gave off such a kind and warm aura, it felt incredibly nightmarish when she was taken from us.
