[ Wonder of wonders, it's time for a rare as hell Sarah network post. But today is an important day, and for more people than just her, she's sure. When she appears on the network early in the afternoon, she's subdued, but then again, she always kind of is when she's doing something on the network. ]

Anyone else really missing their kid today? Or maybe just missing their mum?

[ That's it. She doesn't have a lot to say. The questions hang in the air for a few seconds, and then she reaches over and shuts the feed off. ]

[devoutish]

Yeah. My own mum would be pleased as punch with the idea of a Mother's Day.

action!

[doubleblind]

[So maybe Cosima should be planning for her own special day, but she can multitask! Checking in on Sarah is important. That's why Sarah will here a knocking on her bedroom window a half hour or so after her post.]

Does grandmother count? Because it's been a few years now since I've seen mine, which is still kinda weird. I saw her, like, almost every day of my life before that.

[Accompanied by a sympathetic, slightly sad smile, of course.]

[ ah, mother's day. it's become one of barry's least favourite days of the year, alongside his birthday, anniversaries, and now father's day. for a moment he forgets he's spent three long months with his mother alive, but that's nothing in comparison to the eleven years that remain under his belt where he was alone without her. ]

[ he puts on a smile and a brave face. ]

Yeah.

[ then he thinks to clarify: ]

My mom, not ... a kid. I don't have a kid. [ he pulls a face. ] I think?

[ moment ruined. ]

[continuousgroaning]

... I've missed my family a lot since I arrived here, but I'm especially missing my mom today, yeah.

[glassfall]

I never knew my mother.

[She says it neutrally, but there's a sadness to it.]

[thevictoriandetective]

Not really. And I don't have a kid.

[A pause as what she said sinks in. He thinks of John and Rosie.]

I'm sorry.

[He debates sending this for nearly thirty minutes. He fiddles with the lock and figuring that out for ten. He has no right to say anything. It's not a big deal, he's not even a woman let alone a mom, it's-]

i'm the male equivalent of a mum but yeah

i've been missing her since she died and being here is not helping

my kid i mean, my mom is fine

[-it's hard. To keep going with all these secrets gnawing at him from within. Even if he was at home, even if he had somebody to talk to, he's still too raw emotionally to say it out loud. The word 'dad' was too hard to type. The idea of speaking the word 'daughter' made him want to dive for the nearest hard liquor.]

[acclimatized]

Yeah, I'm missing my daughter today. My mum too, but she passed away years ago.

[am_i_a_monster]

I've missed my mom since she died. Mother's day just makes it worse.

[She pauses.]

Sometimes I let myself hope that the porter will bring her here and bring her back to life.
Who are you missing?

[ She has to take a second to make sure this isn't Sarissa before responding. You can never tell with the sisters, even if the accents are a little different. ]

I always feel a little guilty that I've been fortunate enough to have my daughter with me now. Even if it was after five years of being without her, I don't think I'll ever feel like I deserve it.

[ Ashiah does, at least. She deserves to have some kind of life where she doesn't die before she ever hatches. ]

I don't really have a mum to miss. Do you?

[akito]

I've never had a mother to miss.
What do you miss the most about yours?
