T can't be my mother and can't rewrite history. I know this in my head.

But sometimes, when the connection is especially strong...

My younger self, say 14, feels the love and it's like T was there looking after me 34 years ago. And I was never neglected or ignored or unloved because T was there all the time.

At moments like that, she is my mother and she has rewritten history and it's real.

I guess you had to be there.
