Today

That upset feeling you sometimes get when you believe something is going to happen and it doesn’t is how I feel today. I love Wednesdays when Mom and I come to Mouth to Hand, and I’m in creative writing. It may be my favorite hour of the week. I laugh the whole time.

But today Mom didn’t come with me. I don’t know quite why it upset me, but it did. It felt like disappointment on steroids. My heart hurt. I know that sounds dramatic, but that’s how I felt. I think it’s because this is our time together, and I love that. I didn’t even feel like writing today, even though this story is the greatest. 

After I told Judy how I felt, she asked someone to call Mom. I told Mom that I’d stay today, but that next week she needs to come. It is like we share the fun and laughter, and that makes it even more special. So now Mom will know how much this time with her means to me.

I am already looking forward to next week when Ryan and Mom are together.
