What a Mom

Do I call my mother on Mother's Day? If I do what will I say? Hey, you have 8kids but I'm the only one u don't look for but happy Mother's Day! My grandma raised me but she's dead so I can't call her on Mother's Day, my real mom is alive and well but might as well b dead cuz she never looks for me. Sounds harsh but I've givin her the best of me and still she can't love me. I'm the middle child of us 8, I've struggled in life but now I'm straight.grams got sick when I was 13 and after that,life just felt like a bad dream. My real mom has never made an effort in our relationship but she puts up with all my siblings bull ****. I don't bring her my problems and when it comes to hers I try my best to solve them. I've never asked her to support me in any way,didn't even hold a grudge when I was a teen and she told me I couldn't stay. At 16 I signed myself up for job corps to escape being in places I wasn't wanted,helping and giving and just taken for granted. When I was 19 my grandmother died and I stayed mad at the world cuz I was still alive. I'll be 30 this year and it was me and only me who got me here! So do I call my mother on Mother's Day? Happy Mother's Day ma,thanx for the neglect and thanx for never reaching out,you made me see what life's all about. Mothers are one of a kind, mine is dead and I can't press rewind.
