I got a semi-unexpected visit from my parents this afternoon- I learned they were heading down this way on Thursday, and they offered to stop by for a visit. Of course, I said yes, and we had a very nice dinner at a local restaurant.
So I wanted to say "thanks" and "I love you" to my mom very publicly here on my blog. For all of the goofy emails and voice messages she leaves me (none have yet made it
onto this site, but there's still time, Mom. There's still time.) or the wacky forwards or the random bottle of Tums she stuck in my Christmas stocking one year just so it would be all nice and full like my brother's, she's a real gem.
All these years of the eating disorder, and she didn't leave me. Then she even let me come back home and fed me like I was a toddler, all over again. I'm amazed. I'm in awe.
I love you, Mom.
(okay, on cue: awwwww...)
