Today is May 10, Mother's Day, the same day Lana posted her heartfelt Mother's Day message 6 years ago
It's truly heartbreaking to read the message (I knew she wrote it but I never got to read it) and since today is Mother's Day and I am fortunate enough to have a very good relationship with my mother (who in turn did not have a very good relationship with her mother), so she was adamant on not passing it down to me. I try not to be curious but I can't help but sometimes wonder what happened with Lana and her mother after her career circa Lust for Life era, so 2017. because from her adolescence it seems they had a tumultuous relationship but Lana's mum would be seen in the early stages of her career, then it seems since then they haven't been talking or seeing each other since. this whole time I thought Lana's parents were still together, but then I found out interestingly also her dad and mum had separated, although I don't know precisely when. Of course we will never know what really happened between Lana and her mother other than hints of lyrics she drops in some of her songs. anyhow, having witnessed that breathtaking moment and being told by my mother that I was the very reason she decided to forgive her own mum for everything, I hope that one day Lana can too. if what her mother did was truly horrible and unforgivable I'd totally understand if their relationship wasn't able to be mended. but of course knowing that she doesn't get on well with her mother makes me sad as well as for other people who have mummy issues that might find solace in Lana's songs. i hope that you can read her message and feel a sense of release of past traumas (we all have them) and find a way to move forward.
