When did my Mom become cool again?
Called out sick to work tonight due to stress-induced nausea :(
My mom can't remember most of my friends' names (after her aneurysm), other than Beth; Beth's mom, Colleen; and Mari (who she will sometimes call Mary), and she insists that I need to be extra careful moving out west because people are "weird out there" (cos there's no weirdos in the midwest?). But she managed to not call me a fat ass once the entire time I was home; she actually said I looked thin. Which is something she hasn't told me once in my life; even when I was on softball and weighed like 115lbs and wore a 26" waist.
Anyway

I didn't want to try calling you on your last night here. I figured you'd be busy seeing your friends and catching up as well as saying bye.
But I did want you to know a few things. You are a very brave and gutsy gal.
I always thought I was a risk taker, but compared to you....no. I never would have had the guts or nerve to move way out east, not knowing how it would work out. Or drive to another city to meet people you never met before, or fly to england and all the things you've done so far and traveled so far.
Now you are going to start another journey, this time out west.
I wanted you to know I think you are quite brave, very motivated, and will succeed if you want it bad enough.
I wanted you to know, I still am scared (LOL- can't help it ...it’s the mom in me) of you going so far away alone.
SO what I really want to tell you is that I'm very very proud of you, of the woman you've become, and I love you very much (always have).
Be careful out there chicky (the mom in me is breaking out now), keep me informed of what's happening in your life....email often (so I can lay my anxiety to rest) ok?
love you sweetpea
