My mother is like an angle and superhero all in one. I still believe she is perfect but for many years I thought she had done no wrong or had made no mistakes in her life. We just never talk about those type of things. During a hard period in my life she opened up to me and that was the moment I realized that my mother is human and had a passed, a whole life with experiences, before I ever knew her.

Probably when the roles switched one day between my Mother and I. She came to me for dating advice and at the time, being 19, I was confused to say the least. I never understood her ways when I was younger, but now that I do, I realized that she is actually pretty frail, and has a wall to stand behind anytime she hears warfare coming.

I never saw anyone as invincible. My family was so broken it seemed at times that nothing was right.

My father. He wanted to buy a piano from a little old lady. I was maybe 9. He told the lady that the piano wasnt good because of this and then because of that. When we left I told my father "Thats not a good piano. We wont buy that one." and my father bent over and said to me "OH we WILL!!!" I remember him holding my hand in his big warm one, and that the snow crunched under my boots. Thats when it sunk in that my father was trying to get the price down and was lying to this little old lady.
