An Open Letter to Mothers

I was recently commissioned to write an open letter to our mothers (on behalf of their sons) for Mother's Day. The letter was meant to express everything we feel about the women who created us, and how grateful we are for all the sacrifices they've had to make. It was surprisingly well received and my own Mum even emailed to say it made her cry (although she wouldn't say whether this was out of pride or embarrassment.)

Of course, in reality, I'm a very different person from the sensitive soul this piece portrayed. In reality, I am a total badass who has no time for feelings or emotions. Ask my Mum if you don't believe me.

Here it is.
