When we were sure Mom (my mother in law) didn't have much time left I asked her a favor. I asked to record a quick video of some #motherly advice for later when we needed it. I found the video randomly a few days ago, right before mother's day. I have decided it's time to share that video. Go watch it on my YouTube or Instagram. All my social media as @theshadoslair. Hope y'all had a #happymothersday #mothersday #momadvice

How Long Since?
I have not dwelled on you, Oh fallen star, Since you last graced me. No, I had not one concern For you were not mine. Your name I never knew, Might be Anh, It might not, matters not, 'Cause just surviving is hard. Remember you? With what time? So, why today so suddenly? Have you risen, fallstar? Look at me acting concerned, When my own world is falling. I got my own business to mind.

It wasn't until 1922 in Russia that Vladimir Lenin declared March 8th International Women's Day.
