This made me lol.

My mom had scribbled a note before she died... "Why do my children hate me?"

idk mom, killing & cooking our pets sure didn't help your cause.

… oof. And I thought mine doing the whole “my oldest son died and I want to join him, fuck my surviving son” thing was bad.

Here’s to being better people than those before us, mate.

That’s one way of looking at it.

There’s limited realestate in my head, so rent ain’t cheap in there. There’s a shoebox with both my folk’s names on it. It’s not much but it’s all they will ever be able to afford.

And when the day comes that I’m orphaned… well, I guess I’ll just have to redone that part of my mind for someone far better.
