I'm called Morning Deer.
The memories you don't remember
are really odd, for me.
They're hard, they're difficult,
they're fun.
They're complex.
They're sometimes I wonder,
"Is that a real memory?
Or is that a photograph that
my mom was telling me about?"
♪
This it's emotional.
When I look back as an adult,
when I look back as we reflect,
as we grow, I see
that abandonment,
that she had this sense,
perhaps, of abandonment.
And that shame,
that comes with it.
And and I don't wanna
speak for my mother,
because it's probably
just not fair.
I'm just speaking from my
interpretation of my mother.
I I feel like I'm
this person that's torn,
but not necessarily badly,
because human
we are these people
that have are
pulled in directions,
that's who we are,
as human beings.
I've sort of resented
her sometimes,
because I wanted
her to be stronger.
♪
Morning Deer: You know what I
really learned as I look back,
and as I grew, and
as I talked about it?
Is my mother did the
absolute best she could.
As she got older, is what
she was most proud of.
Who we were.
