I got to spend a day with her, which is good, because she has been stressing out incredibly bad at home in-between her hours being cut back at work and taking care of her mother 4/7 days a week, which involves traveling back and forth from NH and VT. I felt bad that I couldn't come home on her b-day, so I invited her down for the day and gave her b-day present today. I still owe her a relaxation CD burned from my ITunes, but I think she liked what I gave her today and hanging out, so that is good. :D
Talking to her makes me remember how much I have learned from her--compassion, courage, caring (yay alliteration!). We have been through thick and thin together when I was a kid along with my bro and if it wasn't for her pushing me, I don't think I would be the person I am today.
She might question my career choice some times and she might not like the fact that I am so far away from her a lot of the time, but she has stood behind me in every decision I have made and she she does. She believes in me and I never want to fail and disappoint her. She, along with a good friend of mine, have made me realize who I want to be, who I need to be.
Talking to her today put my mind at ease about many things and made me realize a couple of things too. My mum tends to do that to me.
Here's to many more good years with her around. :)
