Day 37
Feb 6,
2014
My first:
I wrote a letter to my mom about what happened on February 3rd when
she declined my offer to take her to the show (for the first time ever).
I decided
to write a letter to my mom explaining ME to her and letting her know how I see
her in this life of hers. It was just a matter of 3 pages to say that I am
spontaneous and she likes her life planned out and under her control. I said
that the rest of her life is not going to be like the last 60 some years were. I
said that she can make this her last hurrah and to not miss “what can happen”.
I said that
I want nothing more than to be close to my mom, but it can be very difficult
sometimes. I wish so bad that she could “go there”. You know, express yourself
and allow things to happen.
I spoke
about the analogy that life is like a buffet: you don’t have to taste a thing
in front of you, or you can only try the things that you’ve had before, or you
can have it ALL.
Lastly, I
said, “So whatever happens next between you and me…it’s ok. But I hope it will
be a journey that we both can grow from…and grow together.” I apologized for my
penmanship because my fingers are all cracked and my hands are numb. Of course,
the handwriting would probably be bad without those ailments.
