Family
Tale of a Mother.
During this Mother’s Day week I want to pay tribute to my mother, Ruby Lee Spencer. She was born in Fort Ord, California on July 3rd, 1971. She was the youngest of three children born to Harry and Erma Spencer and she had one older brother named Harry and one older sister named Lana. In her adult life she had three children, Rudy, Joe, and Kindal and they no doubt have some of the fondest memories of her.

You Deserve to Know
You stand in an endless and still lake, thinking any baby ripples are powerful waves. You pretend the cushy, solid bottom is going to give out at any second with a current or riptide. You mistake your lovely reality for the concerns of the unknown. You wonder if anything you do is enough, you worry that you float unseen, you wish for time to move slower. But, Mom, I need you to know that we are here. The love you have given is the love you now receive. We painted the sky you see reflected in this lake. Look up. See the beauty your children are capable of, because of you. The twinkling purple, for forgiveness and healing. The pale pink, for new beginnings and hope. The bright orange, for laughter and joy. The deep blue, for promises and love. These are the strokes we made for you to admire. We have painted you a home in our hearts, as we climb ladders of self love, taught by you, our Mother.

The Independent Oldest
Dear Mom, Before even writing anything, you can probably tell that this letter is from me. I'm the only one of your children far enough away to send a letter. But yes, it's me, your oldest child. I am the child who you knew would move away and never move back. I am the child who was always eager to be alone and independent. I am the child who went to college on the other side of the continent, which was actually my second choice because I was sure going to school in Ireland would have caused you to panic. It turned out to be a good choice anyway.

Dear Mum
Dear mum, As you know this will be my very first Mother’s Day as a mum myself. I have not been a mum for as long as you have but I already know I want to do better. Do not get me wrong you are a fantastic mother; I will always endeavor to be the mum that all my kids friends feel is their own mum in a safe way like you did. However I want my kids to feel like they really can talk to me and not hold back. So here I am, trying to do better, wanting you to know what I always wanted to say.

Dear Mama
Hey mama, it’s been 12 years since you passed away and there’s not a day that goes by that you’re not on my mind. I’ve written you a lot of letters and I’ve told you a lot about what has been going on in my life since you left this world. With so much that I’ve been able to say to you in the time that you’ve been gone, there is also something I was never able to tell you while you were still here.

Dear Mommy
Dear Mommy, I officially came into this world a little over three weeks after your twenty-sixth birthday. You had to care for me all alone because the other half of my DNA disappeared around my fourth month of development. It seemed things got worse after that and I was not an easy baby. We laugh about it now but I would like to Apologize for those years. For waking up just as the sun started to peak over the horizon. For doing nothing but barely eat. Sleep, cry and fill my diaper. I rolled down a tiny hill into a small river causing you to panic even though it wasn’t deep enough to hurt me and I landed on my back. I covered the lower quarter of the kitchen with a tiny bowl of spaghetti including myself and I’d like to thank you for dealing with that.

Hey Mom. Top Story - May 2022.
Hey Mom. I never told you this before, but... I met someone. We have started a beautiful relationship that has already lasted eight years. She and I are growing and living and loving together like true partners should. And I owe much of this beauty to you.

Crushed
It happened during an argument. I could feel the switch happen. The one that decides your emotions for the next six months to a year. One sentence completely wrecked me. I still hear it. Every day, multiple times a day. One sentence that just will not stop haunting me
