I can’t stop reading this diary.
I don’t want to go make my lunch. I don’t want to watch TV. I don’t want to exercise. I just want to keep reading.
It’s not even about me anymore — at this point in the diary, Memaw and I (except Mom called her Grannie then) have flown to Florida to stay with Granny and Charlie for a while, and Mom is hanging around Medina, staying with friends until the paternity suit against my father.
That was my first plane ride, and was my only plane ride until a few years back, when I went with Mom and Gary and Philip to visit Gary’s family in Fort Worth.
I love taking these one-page synopses of Mom’s days and trying to imagine what her life was really like. Moving out of the apartment to a couple other friends’ places. Missing me so much. Trying to get a job. Trying to “get her head on straight.”
We’ve both come so far.
I love you, Mom.
I love you too!!!!
Thanks for understanding, I was afraid you would think I was …….. I don’t know, I was stupid, but smart enough to know you were the best thing that ever happend to me. You know, I think, maybe, you still are;-)
