As much as I hate to pay that she devil for anything, my mother is the one who triggered my love for reading. I read everything and anything to escape into another world that was not embittered and filled with pain.
My love of writing must be credited to Santa Claus who brought me my first diary at nine. I can’t bring myself to give her credit for it since its sole purpose was to find out what I was doing or thinking. I quickly made up a code to write with since my thoughts usually lead to a thick leather belt and nice red welts on my legs and back.
So now I still am an eclectic voracious reader and have journals for twenty years. I destroyed all my journals and diaries when I married (which I truly regret).
So putting aside the escapism and the pain, I suppose I must thank you mother, wherever your soul is residing.
