I'm sceptical in my head, but my heart tells me you are right.

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.
