[ This hits Carl in all the worst ways. He very rarely talks about his mother, even to those close to him. But maybe . . . ]

 my mom was good to me. she did her best to raise me and she was kind. she died, but she rather die and give her baby a chance to be born. 

the best way to honor your mom is just living your life, and don't let the world drag you down. that's what my mom's last words were.
