Whoa Mama

I'm so excited, my Mom told me yesterday that they are going to try and switch their timeshare dates around so they will be able to come here about once a year. It will be nice to see her and her family more often. I have a half brother that is a year older than Ethan so it will be nice for them to know each other growing up.
When I was younger I wasn't always on good terms with my Mom. Her and my Dad went their separate ways when I was about 5 so I was primarily raised by my Dad and his parents. She moved to Louisiana when I was young so my teen years were very hard. She had just met her now husband Jackie and had finally gotten pregnant; great for her, bad for me. So the important dates such as senior prom and graduation she had to miss. As hurt as I was it took me a long time to understand. Now that I have my own family and have grown up some I can see why she had to do what she did.
Now we get along wonderfully and talk every few weeks. So it's true, time does heal and it helps in understanding as well.
