Talk:Mama Was Right/@comment-25975226-20150206125451/@comment-24040907-20150206210654

Hey, thanks so much for the comments : D

You know, when we are children, we all see our mothers as superhuman entities sent from above to guide us and raise us and be there for us. I still suspect my mother of secretly being an otherworldly being!

One of the most terrifying things a child can go through would be doubting a parents ability to protect them, to be there for them.

In fact, in the full version of the story, it opens with the protagonist (now an adult) talking about having to be strong for his own children.

So I tried to convey that deep fear and suspicion of the mother during the closing. And at the end, I wanted the readers to almost feel a sense of closure, to know that you should never doubt mother, because she is always right.

Thank you both so very, very, very much for the compliments. I'm sick as of right now, and all I can really do is sit here and read these comments. You both have really made my day so wonderful. I'm actually starting to feel better! Isn't it amazing, what the kind words of good friends can do? Chicken soup for the soul!
