Well who will I blame my problems on now? I will think of you every time I say 'I am not my mother!' which is more often than I like to admit. You will live on in my memories, games of Scrabble, the taste of sherry. We will never stop taking piss out of you, but will miss your laughter when we do. They say we choose our parents, our family. I'm glad we chose each other.
