Calling Mom

oh, oh! thats something.
Its just co-incidence that Mothers Day was yesterday and this stumbled and rolled over onto my screen.
From personal experience and some impersonal experience, Always Call Mom. Maybe she wont understand, maybe she will freak out and HER coping mechanisms will swing into action and the ounce of control you still thought you had left will ‘poof!’ into thin air. But then things will settle down, because you will not be alone, and since your personality was at least remotely derived from her, either she will see or you will.
And sometimes, she will surprise you by understanding exactly how you feel, and pull out the exact antidote you can use.
Moms have hidden depths. Moms were teenagers once.
Dont wait for your smart phone to mis-dial Mom. Mom is one of the friends you should probably keep in touch with.
