I want my Mommy :S

My Mom came to visit us for our first two weeks with Storry.. She actually would have landed right as I was giving birth to her if her flight hadn't been delayed a day :S

I must say, it was really nice having her here (of course it was, duh)   I dropped her off this morning for her return flight home. The thing with me and my Mom is that she's a much more sensitive person than I am, at least outwardly - So anytime the occasion for a "goodbye" rolls around she turns into a big ol'bawlbag.. As for me, my stomach gets into knots when I know we have to part ways.. I feel like I'm constantly searching for some inner fortitude to coach and sweet-talk her through the process so that she doesn't cry so much about it.. But also I find, like I did today, I get tense @ trying to cover up my own feelings..

As soon as I left her @ the checkout counter my stomach felt like it was full of rocks.. I just felt so deflated - it was weird.. I say that because maybe I guess I just feel accustomed to parting with her and living my own life out here (or whereever). Like, it's life, no big deal.. I grabbed a coffee and headed back to my car.. In my console I see that she left a little note and a bunch of cash. I started sobbing on the spot - She wrote me how beautiful the baby was and what a good job I've done and also that she appreciated us paying for all the dinners out here but she couldn't let us "pay for her expenses" (it's been like a little spar between us and my parents, when we go out to eat someone is always trying to out maneuver the other to pay the bill first - My stepdad hates for us to pay and hubby is the same viceversa). It wasn't the money @ all that did it but the note.. She was writing it as I was driving her to the airport.. I wasn't sure what she was doing but I must have kept interrupting her with my attempts @ starting light-hearted conversation, lol..

So anyway Ma, you got me! I cry too believe it or not, hehe.. Me and Pedro are really missing your presence after having you out here and it just about broke my heart to see the kids looking for you this morning.. I know I'm not always the sweetest daughter to you but I really and truely love you and I too long to be close to you one day, not only in heart which I already am, but also in proximity.. Just, never forget that you have a special and irreplacable spot in my life and that your grandchildren and I will always have a bond of love with you.. Through all the distance, never lose sight of that..

Has it been two weeks already!?!

Quoting Viktorya:“ Has it been two weeks already!?!”
