Speaking as a son that didn't really have a mother (drugs + alcohol and eventual emancipation) I can say that is 100% true. There were a lot of times a mother or grandmother would have made a huge difference in my life. It sucked not having those relationships when you need them.RIP. Every son needs his mother.
The only people who would joke about shit like this have never lost a parent. Life hasn't been too kind to Cain the past couple years
