Today is a day filled of chores and learning. I was contemplating reserving a Zipcar and going to see my mother on Thanksgiving, but I can never full commit to things like that. I’ve been thinking about her a bit lately, so I decided it would be a good idea to call and check in on her. Apparently she was asleep, and didn’t really have much to say, but the surprise and happiness in her voice was really enough.
She reminded me that my aunt’s birthday is next week. I should probably send her a card. I’ve always been a bit afraid, a bit intimidated by her, but I know that if she hadn’t been around when I was small there are times where I may not have eaten or had clothes for school or a Happy Christmas ever. She is a good woman, and I’ve never really given her any credit for the things she has done for me.
