when i think of holiness, i imagine my mother layin in bed at night sayin a prayer like, "jesus, why did this happen to me" a prayer like, "jesus, i know i wasn't a perfect mom but at least i was off the liquor" a prayer like, "jesus, if i love my daughters unconditionally, will you make this all go away?" i've got a face a mother could only love if that's what she thinks god wants her to do
