Let it be said, for the record, that I hate my own mother. We have never gotten along, and the gap is at this point irreconcilable.

That being said: Laurell, there are adult children who would give a year of their lives to be with their mothers for one more Mother's Day. There are mothers who would give up ten years of their lives to have their children with them for one more hour, on any day.

All I gotta say to this is thank you, Laurell, for solidifying my hatred of you as a person as well as your craptastic writing.
