This is a beautiful tribute, Shane. I had a complicated relationship with my mother, too, and I felt every line.

All of it. Your thoughts on therapy, on God, on the need to keep space between you and the difficult people in your life, and most importantly, your desire to not potentially expose your son to such difficulties.

So many parallels.

Thanks for this.
