After Wander and The Little Brother left church I was given the privilege of driving both them and myself to Uncle Mid Life Crisis’ barbeque. I didn’t mind. The more time I spent away from my phone the more time I didn’t have to think about how I feel. If you haven’t pieced the puzzle together me and feelings are on opposite ends of the picture frame. Besides feelings are for the winter, technically I can avoid this for a few more weeks, can’t I?
As I sat in the car with Wander contemplating how one lives with a bruised ego and a broken heart she offered this morsel, “You don’t have to go through this alone. I know you love him. Men are assholes but I have a feeling you will work this out with my future son-in-law. If you need to talk I’m here. I don’t always want to hear about the good things”
Speechless! Does she have some sort of telepathy? It must be some innate mother gene that allows her to sense my discomfort. I couldn’t even verbalize how I felt to her. I hate crying but I couldn’t hold it anymore. Crying ain’t sezy. Luckily it wasn’t one of those snot nose cries instead just silent tears ruining my mascara. Afterwards I felt a little bit better but I didn’t get any answers besides my mom’s inside my heart and I likes it.
4 Pardon My French:
Oh..... mom! That was so simply a beautifully put. And I love the future son-in-law part.
i've independented (new word) my way right past this kind of relationship with my mother. she grew me this way. oddly though, she can feel when my isht is off. but because she knows the monster she's created, she rarely steps out there & asks for the tidbits.
i used to dream of layin my head in my mother's lap & telling her "all about it" while she stroked my hair. but then....i also used to dream of having a pony. all dreams aren't meant to come true i guess.
Aww!
