I took my mending in to mom this morning, since she's getting so busy with the twin's leaving that she's admitted she'll forget my clothes unless they're in front of her. Anyway, the twin was in there as well and noted that her cactus was dying. This sent mom off on an emotional trip (even though the cactus has been dying for ages). Apparantly, it's been alive since we were babies and she'd replanted it years ago into the pot that she'd sent (containing a different plant) to my grandma when she first told her she was pregnant with us... So now she's alternately tearing up over the symbolism of it all *shakes head* or moaning about how she'll be left alone with my brother for the next four years, only talking about skateboards and WoW. The twin and I have promised to make her an aim so she can talk to us & our RL friends while we're away.
