I think what made it endearing to me is the fact that you said, "But there is something about seeing her almost daily, something about the physical closeness that seems to lend itself to an even tighter emotional bond." It's like a best friend. If you are away from each other, you still pick right up where you left off, but it seems like when you get together you (forgive the analogy) throw up the last 3 months of life all over each other as you try and catch up. There's something about seeing someone every other day that creates a bond; a bond that doesn't depend upon doing something fun all the time or hurrying up to get everything in before you have to say your goodbyes. It's the bliss of just having low-key days, making jam together and chatting, or spontaneously going out for an ice cream cone with Grandma. I wish for those times...soooooo much! So yes, cherish your mama for all of us! I'm so glad you are loving your life up there!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8028645476191061842.post-81952658622292104112008-09-16T12:05:00.000-07:002008-09-16T12:05:00.000-07:00i love this post. i love your mom. and i love t...i love this post. i love your mom. and i love the frequency of your blog updates these days. maybe you should have called me to warn me that this post might make me sad (just kidding...kind of.) <BR/><BR/>I'm so glad you're loving being near your mom; love it some more for those of us who aren't near our moms, but so desperately wish we were.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8028645476191061842.post-56486364275160429482008-09-16T10:55:00.000-07:002008-09-16T10:55:00.000-07:00Thanks, Anne for this post.

I have always missed her, but just recently things have happened in my life that having the physical comfort of my mom would of made all the difference. Isn't it crazy, no matter how old you are, you always want your mom? I asked my mom about that a couple years back and she said that there are time she wishes her mother didn't live so far away (England). I think it will be a nice feeling for us one day when our kids feel this way about us!Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14320741825566595821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8028645476191061842.post-14414199448159546072008-09-16T09:33:00.000-07:002008-09-16T09:33:00.000-07:00Anne, your post made me cry because I so wish I ha...Anne, your post made me cry because I so wish I had my mother here. Yes you can have a long distance relationship but there are so many times I long for her to be near. I think your post is a repayment to her.

Remember when she jumped in and single-handedly organized the lunch for my wedding? While you were on your mission. Yeah she is amazing. <BR/><BR/>and yes, I would love to do some sewing/craft projects when you are here. I am so intrigued as to the nature of these mysterious projects. When are you coming by the way??Daniellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03646170547184240000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8028645476191061842.post-48670297958104092212008-09-16T08:12:00.000-07:002008-09-16T08:12:00.000-07:00I love this post. And love that you called to war...I love this post. And love that you called to warn me that it might make me sad (it didn't). Eight years ago when I was trying to figure out how to be a mother of two little boys, I used to explain the phone bill to Matt (this was before cell phones with free long distance) by telling him it was still cheaper than therapy. What our mom seems to know is when to be affirming and comforting, and when to be motivating and a touch pushy. And I'm glad you helped with the rolls (that picture was yummy), but of course we will always be in her debt, as our children will always be in ours. Love you.lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00635054930204348566noreply@blogger.com
