While I was away I got to visit my mom. It had been about two years since I last got to see her and it really was quite the treat to get to spend time with her. I missed her so much and I knew that this was probably the only chance I was going to get to see her and catch up. Unfortunately, I don't really get time to chat with her because of how busy I am in my everyday life. So getting away from the crazy back home and being in this wonderful remote place was a nice way to catch up and to really focus on one another. 

We spent an entire day together. We went out of town and she showed me a couple of places that she enjoyed. We went to a stone/jewelry shop downtown and we instantly became friends with the lady there. Her and my mom chatted for a while and every now and then I would say something in the conversation. I'm not as chatty as my mom but she did give me the ability to draw people in. I could tell, this lady wanted to talk for hours. At some point, we purchased our stuff and headed out. From there we went to a nice little dinner and sat for a few hours catching up on all the family drama we had experienced in the last year. So much had happened and I felt like I missed so much. We both had lost people in the past year and we both had gone through similar things when it came to estate battles and terrible family members. I was astonished at it all. 

From our little lunch shop, we went to this headshot called Grannys. Of course, it went from a straight head shop to a hippy/head shop and the people there knew my mom instantly. They knew her and what she liked to purchase and when I was with her they instantly wanted to know me. They even followed me on Instagram and told me to come back sometime, which I am sure I will next time I am in town. 

After all the shopping, talking and the quality time we spent we went back home and settled in. I can say without a doubt that I was satisfied. Of course, I wanted more time but, sadly I couldn't spend more time with her. I needed to hit the road the next day. 

I love my mom and I hope that sometime soon I will get to really sit down and chat. SO much happens all the time and I hate that she's so far away and that I can't see her or be near her all the time. Sadly that is how life is. 

I will be back and I will see her again. I just hope its sooner rather than later.
