Day 12 - VOICE

It is the second Sunday of May.

I wonder how many of you can pay tribute to your mothers in this City? Many of you have probably been separated from your mothers. Even those whose mothers have gone cannot even visit their grave. How many mothers have been torn from their children?

Cards not given, flowers unreceived.

[ Pause. ]

Happy Mother's Day.

They only worry excessively and insist that I'm overloading my burden and ignoring aspects which genuinely don't even matter! Or worse, imply that I'm being unreasonable in adopting such duties to begin with.

Someone needs to play that role, and it chose you. That is not unreasonable.

And one cannot be so childish as to ignore its importance. Duties exist to be minded, and its better that one adopt to maturity necessary to meet them.

I'm sure the others mean well with their insinuations, but such considerations are really just a waste of both their time and my own.

Precisely. One has their responsibilities, and must work within those responsibilities to the best of their abilities. Others may try to get you to stop, or worse - convince you that it is not your duty at all. But you must continue on.

I wish I had advice on how to get them to stop insisting, but unfortunately I do not.

I've seen how they handle themselves without proper management, and they really can court the most troublesome messes. I won't pretend to lead them, but a proper leader will need some sort of assistance in this manner, to ensure that our charges are fed, clothed, sheltered, protected, and kept in good health.

You speak as from experience, I wasn't aware you had such parental aspirations.

Only parental in the metaphorical sense. [ The calendar counts as his child, right? ] My situation is different, I do not have such a group to take care of. I can, however, respect your remarkable efforts. Knowing your charges, it is easy to see how... difficult they may sometimes be.

...I have perhaps been of little assistance in that regard.
