2012 rolls along, I'm a sophomore studying Graphic Design at a tech school. I recently caught the animation bug after discovering how animators on newgrounds/youtube were using flash to create what I still thought could only be done on paper. But I came one day to a full house.
I never got so say goodbye to my Mom. And after the memorium, her family took our mom's ashes. And slowly but surely, they eventually "forgot" to invite us to events too.
I am way late to the game for these mother's day posts. But after her passing, one memory stuck out the most.

To my amazement she is drawing Ol' Yogi Bear, and boo boo (ON MODEL!), while providing her closest vocal impressions of each. I really think that she knew, deep down in her gut, that I would be doing this.
But I am glad to have met my step-mom. While I do think about the if's and's, or but's about the past. I wouldn't be the person I am today if she didn't stick her neck out for all of us.
Heck, I got serious about art again after she fought for a so-so caricature I drew in a middle school art history class (I still don't remember picking this, I would've picked the drawing class next door instead). https://twitter.com/PoconoPeak/status/1217616613618388992
And while only a few friends will most likely see this thread, I just want to remind all of you to hug/call your mom's. Because no matter how scary it is right now, be thankful for every day that you have with them.
