FIELD REPORT DU HQ | From Wherever It May Be Said
Be sure to treat your mother well this weekend if you get to see or communicate with her. Also remember your mother well if she is no longer with us, even if the memories are of an imperfect human being. And please, mothers everywhere, forgive your babies who grow up to be disenchanted 51-year-olds who’ve become strung out after several years straight of attempting to stay on top of your elderly needs. We don’t mean to be stressed or harsh or say the wrong shit at the worst time. We appreciate you always with love.
