I don’t have a lot of answers that people, or even myself, are looking for in this life. And there’s something about seeing your mom crying and upset about things that really throws me off. I wasn’t raised to think of my parents, and especially my mom, as anything other than unbelievably strong and amazing and invincible.

Which puts me in a totally foreign situation of “I have no idea what to say to her right now to help make her feel better.” Help.
