My mom didn’t understand me when I was growing up. She always thought I was acting out for attention. There was a point in my late teens when I got sent to an institution. My mom always brought me Culvers while I was there to help cheer me up. Several years later she got married and we grew closer then ever. Whenever I spend the weekend at her and my step dads house, she would help me keep calm and also we started watching movies together that I like and she got into it as well. I feel as I got older, we finally started to get along. I have a job in the performing arts, and my mom always comes to the show and we have a tradition to go to Culvers afterwards. I am so glad we made up after around 17 years of not getting along. Mom, I love you and thanks for all that you do.
