I talked with my mom today. I know, no big deal right. Except that YES, it is a big deal. My mom left last week Wednesday (right mom? All I know is that it was a long time ago!) for a little vacation. I'm thankful that she could go. I'm thankful that she has a best friend. I'm thankful that planes can take us so many places in this world. You get it--I'm thankful. Good.
But I don't like it when my mom goes away. I don't usually talk with her every day. We may even go a week without talking or seeing each other. BUT, I know that she is there if I need her. I found myself over the past week and a half wanting to quick talk with her about something or share something funny with her or ask her a question. I can't do that now because I have forgotten everything. Sheesh. I couldn't contact her via e-mail either. No texting. No cans with a string in between. There is a huge distance between Michigan and Washington.
So welcome back mom. I went to her house today for just a moment (who wants visitors the day after vacation?!?) and hugged her. I'm sure she wanted to see her grandkids so I brought them along. She gave them cookies. She always has cookies in the freezer. We love them. . . except Penny who just licks the frosting off of the top. Always. Always cookies. Always licking. Always. I'm glad she is back because I like her. . . Always.
