My Mommy's coming to visit!

I haven't posted in the last couple of weeks, or for that matter hardly stitched.  My Mom is coming to visit from Denver and I've been busy with putting the house to rights in anticipation of that.  I cannot tell you how excited I am to see her.  It's been since Mother's Day 2008 since I've seen her and Jan 2008 since my boys have seen her.  

My boys have been asking me for the last 2 weeks how long it was until Grandma came!  And then yesterday my youngest who is 7, made a comment that made me so sad.  I told him that we (Grandma & I) would be picking him up from school in the afternoon Friday, and he said, "I don't always remember what Grandma looks like, but I remember her voice!".  It's hard to live so far away from those you love.

I'm also a bit anxious about this visit.  I'm going to tell my Mom about the sexual abuse that happened to me over the course of my chidlhood.  This is actually a very good thing, and will hopefully help me a lot in my healing.  BUT, it's also very hard to do, because I know that this will also hurt her terribly.  

Well, that's it for now, I'll probably update next week after Mom leaves with pictures and such.  She gets to meet her Great-Grandaughter for the first time, and that's going to be a joy to see.  Have a great week and hope you all get to do lots of stitching!
