My mom is Quin (fmd), she told me about this. She raised my 4 sibs and I, and did a good job; none of us are on America's most wanted, none of us work the pole, we tell her. She did it alone, it was hard, and I want her around when I have kids (she says my wife will have a word or two to say about that), because she rocks as a mom.

I've admitted countless times that I cry easily, but this was a lot worse because as soon as I read the first line or two, I was like "I think I know where this is going" and started crying. Thank you for sharing; it's nice to see the girl who is always so flip about everything and always has a funny story also has another side to her, although you've definitely alluded to it in the past with

Mindy told me over a drunken Super Bowl to take a look because you are hilarious.<BR/><BR/>1. Thanks Mindy - cuz I didn't feel emotional enough today<BR/><BR/>2. Thanks Meg - you are hands down one of the most remarkable writer's I have ever had the pleasure to read -- online, offline or in the little voices in my head.

There is a poignance to that letter rarely seen in real life. Mostly we connect with it on movie screens and in the pages of really good novels.<BR/><BR/>It's nice to know things like this really happen. <BR/><BR/>You seem like a good person, Meg. I would tell you to thank you mother for that, but it seems you already have. <BR/><BR/>Well done. :)<BR/><BR/>On a totally unrelated note...I will be

Happy Anniversary to you and your Mom. This was so beautifully written, I'm crying into my coffee as I read and re-read this. <BR/><BR/>If only more women had her strength to say 'enough'.

This is indeed a good day to celebrate - I have nothing but admiration for what your Mum did (and continues to do) and I am so rapt to see how much you obviously both love each other: family is too often ripped apart these days but you and your Mum and your brother are obviously one hell of a close unit.

Sounds like a day worth celebrating.<BR/><BR/>Righteous. (And I can't wait until Gertie reads this.)

your mom is a legitimate rockstar celebrity. so fucking brave. <BR/>and the best part is that whether or not you share this with her, she knows how much you appreciate it.<BR/><BR/>also - peter? that's creepy!
