creepy?
When I got home from work, in the mail was a greeting card from Mom. The postmark was from May 18th in Santa Clarita, which is about a 30 minute drive from my Mom's house. So it was written between the two previous conversations I had with her on the phone.
On the front of the card is artwork showing two birds on a branch, with one looking at the other. The caption above the birds says, "I'm so glad you're my friend ..."
Inside, on the left side, she has written the following words:
"It makes me feel so good to have the emotional support of a sweet son like you. I'm glad we can be friends!"
On the right side, the printed inscription reads, "The world is a much better place with you in it!".
And beneath that, she has signed it, "Love, Mom".
There is nothing in this card that is suspicious, or unusual, other than the fact that it comes in the middle of this current ... stuff. And that is why it is creepy. Did she flip 180 degrees in the last two days? Or was the card intentionally written to keep me off-balance emotionally? Neither option is comforting...
However, although it is creepy, I am not terribly upset by it. A little anxious, perhaps, but I'm still where I was when I left work -- overjoyed that I am not letting her control my emotions. I am still happy and looking forward to spending time with friends this weekend.
