Words of Wisdom from Mom of Little Match Girl

So, I talked to my mom this weekend about everything going on. As some of you know, it has taken me a long time (like almost all of my close to 30 years) to be close to my mom. So clearly its a big deal if I am talking to her about it. Anyway, I was giving her the update about "F" since she forgets I have this blog and doesn't always read it. I told her how I was feeling about everything and that I really do believe this has nothing to do with me. At the same time, I also feel like this is not the way you treat someone who you claim to care about. I don't expect to be the main thing in his life right now given everything he has going on, but a little word here and there wouldn't be a bad thing. Even if he told me, "LMG, I just need some time to deal with whats going on" I think I could deal with that. At least give me the chance to decide if I can. Don't just ignore me. Well, my mom heard what I said. She asked me point blank if regardless of this I liked "F" and wanted to be with him. And the answer is yes, I do. I am so mad to say that, I really don;t want to get hurt. But I like him, he made me open up and I started to really look forward to being with him. I'm not talking marriage and children, but just spending time together, I guess being a couple. So the words of wisdom from my mom were basically:

Fight for what you want. At least give it a shot. If it doesn't work out, then it wasn't meant to, but at least you tried.

So, Mom, thanks for the advice, that's what I am going to do! And hey, if it doesn't work out, then I can be happy with the knowledge that I tried (oh, and that tomorrow my office building is giving away free Ben and Jerry's!!).

That Mom-she's good! You're right, give it one last shot, and if you don't get the response you are hoping for, at least you will know that you didn't walk away without trying anything...
And, also, I'm so jealous of Ben and Jerrys...an $89 Limo Liner ticket doesn't isn't really justifiable for free Ben and Jerrys, is it?

She is right! If you don't give it a shot you will always wonder...

GOOD!
Things always work out the way they should
(be'shert). It might not seem so at the moment but all in good time. Knowing that; makes life's up and down, good times and not so good(bad) times easier on the heart, mind and soul.
I love you
P.S. What flavor Ben and Jerry's?
