Shock of All Shocks
I should have been writing but I was bouncing around OD reading. Reading faves, reading notes, and trying to read others faves.
Yesterday I was in the middle of an entry when Mr. Secret called. Then while I was talking to him my sister was on call waiting so I took her call. Mr. Secret and I were just chatting ~ nothing serious so I told him that I had to take my sister’s call. I usually know an important call when I get one. Sister C wanted me to call my Mom (because she won’t talk to her) to tell her that a very close co-worker of Mom’s had passed away.
So I had to be the bearer of bad news.
I am shocked right out of my head! I got a birthday card and $20 from my mother. Mark that one on “shocks of all time!” I have not gotten a birthday card or gift from her since I was 13…do the math…that was 30 years ago.
I have now wasted all my time…reading my old entries. I must get in the shower. I have to be to work in an hour.
My early birthday gift to myself ~ lifetime subscription to Open Diary.
Hmmmm, maybe your mom wants things to change between you. I think that she is opening the door and waiting to see if you will walk through. Is it too little too late? That is a question that only you can answer. Your gift of a lifetime subscription to OD is the perfect gift to yourself. 🙂

My personal opinion…I think C needs to let go and be the “adult” and call your mom. (maybe I am wrong, I may not know the full story. But, R needs grandma in his life. That is shocking about you receiving a card and money. ED is right, maybe your mom is opening a door for you. She maybe realizes she is getting older and life is to short. I wish C would realize that as well. Look for pressies in the mail!!!
