“Mom, don’t you realize how important you are to me?” She said, thickly. “I may have not always shown you how much I still need you, but I do. You were the one who always encouraged me to make new friends as a filly. If I had taken your advice back then, I might be a better pony now. You always encouraged me, even when you were struggling yourself. You took time out from your writing whenever I couldn’t understand something, you used your book royalties to buy me school supplies or potion ingredients or new spell books. You comforted me when I had nightmares and kissed my bruises. And you did it all for me. But even though I didn’t always talk to you like Shiny did, it doesn’t ever mean that I didn’t feel connected to you. I mean, you gave birth to me. You calmed me down by just sitting in a room with me. And whenever I made a mistake, I knew you’d always be there and always love me.”
“But I-“
“No. No buts about it. You’re irreplaceable to me, Mom. And I don’t know what I’d do without you. Even if I don’t always say it enough, I love you. You’re my hero, Mom.”

This was great; mom and daughter talks-reconnecting. Always wondered if Velvet felt like she was feeling 'replaced' by Celestia.

I hoped somebody would guess it! Yes, it was! I used to be a huge theater nerd in high school, and that was one of the plays we read. I enjoyed Oscar Wilde :3

I didn't realize until just now that it wasn't universally obvious what "The Importance of being Earnest" was a reference to...

Thanks, Damaged. I couldn't even find the original. This was just the one I found, and I put the source for that one in.

9764431 Yeah, the splotching of the background threw my bot off too. I had to search it manually.

Given that I’ve read Oscar Wilde I was expecting more satire and less touching relations. Nice though.

Wish I still had my Mom to go talk to. I miss her so goddamn much. These are all the things I wished I remembered to tell her always, but I did tell her I loved her quite often.
