My Momma's Vacation!!

I cannot believe it! It's my Mom's first REAL vacation without me!! She and her partner Shirley are off to Costa Rico and they should be arriving in Charlotte any minute now for their 5 hour lay over before heading back in a plain for their final destination.

For those of you that do not know Shirley, she's an amazing person who goes to one new country every year! She's been to over 20 countries!! Holy smokes!! Anyhoo, this is her new country for the year, and the first vacation for just the two of them alone.

I know it sounds pathetic, but although I am my Mother's child, I still feel like we're both growing and becoming independent of each other. It's like mixed emotions, I'm happy that we've both found love and that we both are exploring the world, but at the same time I'm sadden. Feeling like we're growing apart. Ahhh, but I know that'll never happen. We're waaay too close and I love her more than anything. I wish her a happy and safe trip. I can't wait for her to get home so I could just plant a big ol' kiss on her beautiful face!!
