I am thankful for having the mother I do. My mother is the only working force that was in my family in which she had to raise four boys into men. She also had to care for my father who has type 2 diabetes. I'm so thankful for her in which I have no way into paying her back in my lifetime.
But the greatest thing of all is that my mother is 100% Japanese and had to learn the language of English herself, while she was working. She still gets ridiculed this day for her incapability to understand some aspects of the language. But since she is Japanese, I've had the greatest experience learning my heritage and my culture... It's one of the reasons on how I've stumbled upon Fakku! A few searches of the meaning of the word Hentai on the internet and I found it. And I'm happy I found this amazing site full of people that love the same things I do.
So I hope y'all have a Happy Holidays, and a Happy Festivus!
Oh and I don't want or need any sympathy, I've lived my life as great as possible until now, and it's already hard enough to even think about it again.
