Last night I got to hang out with my mom. We went to a block party of sorts, there was gorgeous red Chinese paper lanterns hanging above our heads, people laughing, children running...it was a good time. We left together--chatting as we walked--and proceeded over to her home. A big box was left there for us by my aunt. We brought it inside, opened it and found hair products! There were sprays, gels, shampoos, brushes, and Pantene Smoothing Serum. I made a mental note, "I need to use that smoothing serum."
Then I woke up.
And just like that my mom was gone again and I felt empty. My heart began to sink in the reality that for now there will be no more real "chats" with my mother, my best friend. But I felt her whisper just the same "I will always be there..."
And as I brushed Ashlynne's hair this morning getting her ready for school I thought...dang I wish I had that smoothing serum.

This made me tear up. I often have dreams about my mother too. They won't go away. She'll always be there in spirit even if she's gone in body. Enjoy your late night chats. They're a wonderful link to the past. Love you, girl!
