You know who you are ....
Yes, I will ever remember this night ... this day ... when J said to me, "he didn't have anything to do with raising me," and even though it wasn't framed perhaps as artfully as "YOU had everything to do with raising me," that's the way I took it of course.
August 28th, 2003.
It was the highest form of compliment that he would call to share details of his trip with me. Yes. As though it weren't complete until he had told his mother all the wonders (which he didn't do, by the way, after a 3-week trip to western Europe -- nor did he call, btw, ouch!)
That was a few years ago, when J was perhaps experiencing his first foray into independence and "life without mom." How nice, today, as an 18 year old, he feels comfortable enough to touch base again, and share things of natural beauty that moved his soul.
I'm honored to have shared this experience with such remarkable and brilliant women. Let's all put flowers in our hair, find something frilly, put on some big smiles and go out dancing. One of my favorite musician/comics is coming to my hometown September 6th, and I have an invitation to attend his show for free with nine of my favorite friends.
How I wish you could join me.
Much, much love. I'll see you back on Psycho-Babble Faith.
I love my friends,
Temmie
