89. Mother

89.) Mother

Although Winona Kirk was an absentee mother, Jim still loved her. For all her faults, she was still his mom and he would always love her, just as she loved him.

Their relationship though would always be distant. It was for the best.

It was just too painful to have a close relationship, for the both of them. When he was younger, it wasn't so bad, but as he grew he became a living ghost that would haunt his mother.

He was a constant reminder of the husband she had lost. For Jim, the pain came from knowing that his mother rarely saw him when she looked at him. As long as they didn't see each other, they could be spared the pain of George Kirk's ghost.
