The American Horror Story actress wrote about how seeing her own children, watching them with their grandfather doing simple everyday things, made her think about her mother and how none of it would have been possible without her.

“So I started thinking about how this joy wouldn’t be possible without my mother,” she explained.

“This joy only exists because she existed. So even though she is not physically part of this joy, she is part of the reason it exists. Even though she is no longer alive, she continues to live through this joy.”

“In my children and in this joy that I am able to feel thanks to her. Thank you, mom. I will never stop missing you,” she concluded.
