Mothers and Others

It's not so much that you did not know. I get it, you were distracted by your own malignancy, your own past, your own whatever. You, you, you..
It's this:
YOU DID NOT CARE ENOUGH TO FIND OUT.
And that, my dear mother, is the vexing difference. THAT is what separates mothers and others. Those that care to find out, and those that do not.
