Mother is strength and love
Father is...disappeared
Mother is strength and love
separation
Grandparents are strength and love
Mother is struggle and guilt
chaos and addiction
needles and
conviction
collect calls from jail
letters every week
worry and fear
Mother is struggle and guilt
year after year
present but not there
empty and scarred
Mother is strengh and love
sober
Stepfather is strength and love
reunion
Family is strength and love
stability and joy
dinners and
clean
and warm home
"I love you" texts every day
peace and safety
Mother is teacher by example
good and bad
never forgiving herself
Mother is scarred and tries hard
Daughter understands
promises
not to repeat her mistakes
be free to change
Family is strength and love
Daughter is loved and forgives.
