Dear Mother?
My cousin just called me to ask if I was going to go to tomorrow's surprise party.
She paused for a minute and said, "I need to ask you something, but I'm not sure if the phone is the proper or even respectable way to ask" to which my impatient personality said, "what is it?" and she said "well, I'm not getting younger, and although Matthew is turning 18 in just 3 years, I am going to be preparing my will soon. I had a long talk with him and he said there are only two people he'd want to go with; his grandmother or you."
For 10 seconds I felt so overwhelmed and loved that I wanted to do a happy dance.
Why? Because this 15 year old boy has been like my son since the day he was born and he'd even call me mom when he started speaking. I love him like a son, and now, if anything were to happen to my cousin, he'd actually be my son. Its both so sweet and endearing that even at 15, in his eyes, he can see me as a mom.
I can't wait to go home and drink some wine and beat James at Tiger Woods Golf 2010 on the Wii. :D
