I sit and wait day after day for your call after calling so many times. I’ve left messages and texts and still no word at all. I worry but I know you’re fine. I mean right? Someone would have told me otherwise,
I expect.
Sure you’re just in your own world which doesn’t include mine. I’m sad of course. I wait patiently and twiddle my thumbs. Days turn into weeks, weeks to months and underneath I seethe and my blood boils oozing out of my skin. I write notes, journal, pretend I don’t care, well I don’t. I’m done with you, and not talking to you anymore. Why should I subject myself to such abuse when it’s clear, you don’t care at all. I’m moving on with my life and taking care of me.
Wait, what? You’re coming home? Tonight? Really? What time? What do you want for dinner? I can’t wait to see you!
Hello, what’s up?
Dinner’s ready;
of course it’s your favorite meal.
What? You missed your flight? You’re not coming home after all?
No worries. I love you. I don’t care…….much.
And such is the life of a mom.
It’s almost Mother’s Day, I wonder if she’ll remember?
Mom who?

Actually, she made it … YAY and we didn’t really know until the other night but she’s here in the flesh and I’m not going to let her go! ❤️.
And look what she brought back with her for me……From my friend and yours, our fellow blogger, Kumar Harsh direct to you from India:
I tried many of times to order his book online but I couldn’t get it shipped to the USA. Kumar’s friend lives in New York as does my daughter and thanks to her boyfriend, Kumar of course and his friend, it’s in my hot hands now and I’m sooooo happy. When his friend was home for his wedding in India he packed a couple of books in his suitcase for me when he got back to N.Y.C.
Thank you soooo much my dear friend. Kumar would NOT take any money much to my chagrin or the Iphone and Ipod I had for him but he did take this tiny red truck for his collection. We are so laughIng over this. And he even signed it for me. I am truly touched!!
And forever more I will call you Harsh as signed in my book.
I will do a proper reveiw on his book later after I savor every word.
Life is precious enjoy those you love and whatever you do:
LAUGH!!!!
Never take yourself too seriously!
Blessings Always

thanks soooo much David. I’m glad you like it and truth is what you can count on for me.
Oh funny I do have a typo…. maybe?
We best see how the day goes (we don’t have long together ) till I change it. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤗🤗😘😘
Cindy, powerfully and poignantly done. Mothers bear so much and tolerate too many. By the way, I love this closing saying.
“Life is precious enjoy those you love and whatever you do:
LAUGH!!!!
Never take yourself too seriously!”
Amen, Keith
Oh Thanks so much Keith. I’m glad you liked it and you are so very right.
Awww glad you liked that line!
💖💖
Laugh and the world laughs with you….
Yes for sure!! 💖
It must be hard when they grow up and fly the nest! I try to at least text my dad every day but I admit that sometimes I forget. So pleased you have your daughter home and the beautiful book in your hands. ❤️😊🙏
It is hard and I cry my eyes out when each one leaves but the funny thing is they never leave… hahhahha really. someone is always coming and going. But honestly, I too call my Dad most days and text and see my mom often but to not return a text seriously drives me mad. But yes a twofer a girl and a book in hand is quite a gift! 💖🌷
🥰
💖
What a gorgeous day brightening gift
And to your prose ❤️
Yes, indeed it is EC!!!!
Oh thanks, glad you like it!
💖
Wonderful post Cindy.
Hey Prakaash…. Thanks a lot!!
🌷💖
Cindy, as a parent, I can relate to this post. 🙂 So well-written and humorous. Glad your daughter made it, and glad you got a signed copy of Kumar’s book! All’s well that ends well! Till the next long silence, of course. <3 Take care!
Sooo glad I’m not alone Cheyrl as so many seem to talk to their kids everyday and I’m always a little jealous but we take what we can. Thanks we’ll see her for the day and dinner and then she’s off to a wedding a back for dinner Sunday night.
I know, I’m soooo excited to get it!
Lol, you got that right… the long silence will begin. 🤣🤣 xo ❤️
So you finally get to meet your daughter❤❤ Enjoy a lot with her….also you got signed copy of Harsh’s book!🥺🥺
I dooooo! Thanks Nawaz! Really nice to have her home! I know right!!!! Too bad we couldn’t get it mailed from India. Maybe his next publisher we can get them here I hope. Keep bugging him.. you would be high priortity. 🤗. Maybe he could fly and bring you a copy… right Harsh?!
I’ll be hopefully going home next week….I am too excited….6 months at a stretch at hostel was memorable and tiring too!
Hopefully, his next publication will reach you sooner
Oh I hope sooooooo!!!! It’s been waaaaay tooooo LOOOOONG! Go you deserve ikt and they are dying to see you too I’m sure.
We’ll get him on it. lol
I sure hope so!!!
💖💖❤️❤️❤️🤗
Yeah…I hope I can be home….I desperately need a break after exams🤭❤
Yes you do!
You’ve worked hard and now is the time to play
Thank you❤
You’re sooo welcome! 💖
Ha, I call it the mother syndrome. Peggy suffers from the same thing. Except she gets excited if she doesn’t hear from her kinder once a week. Normally not a problem with her daughter who uses Mom for hour-long debriefing, although I’ll do in a pinch. The son is more problematic re calls but a regular stream of grandkid photos are sent via texting. 🙂 –Curt
Right?!!! The gift for 3 daughters and a son … they don’t need their mom much but they are all besties so that’s special. I’d take once a week so Peggy’s doing pretty good. I take what I get and am grateful. I always think of it like all is good, if I’m not hearing from them. Nice she is close with her daughter. Sweet your son at least sends pics of the grandkids. Happy they at least come home and want to visit. 💖
Amazing the friends we make! I am grateful for you 💕
I know… right?!!! WE are soooo blessed and I’m grateful for you as well!
💖
Dear Cindy, how sweet & heartfelt writing….from a mother’s perspective….and from the deeper place as well….beautiful ending to the new begining….it’s such a delicate n yet powerful writing ❤️✨
Thank you so much Navin and glad you appreciate my candid, honest, deep places I wander to here. It does seem our relationship with our children is ever evolving to new chapters and beginnings.
That’s so well put. I appreciate you!
💖🌷🙏
You’re welcome, Cindy….I very much do appreciate….have a wonderful day 🙏 ❤️
You are a dear friend.
Have a beautiful Thursday!
🌷💖
Thank you….you too have a beautiful & peaceful Thursday ❤️✨
I appreciate it!!
💖
Well done what a cutie your daughter is.❤️🙏🥰
Thanks so much!!!
She really is and it sums her up to a tee.
💖
It melts my heart.❤❤🌹
Thanks Rosida!!!
Sweet of you…. we’ve talked about this before I recall!💖🌷
Yeah😌😊💞
💖🌷❤️
HI Cindy,
I love, love this!
I am not a mother, but if I were, I imagine it would be very difficult for me to let my kids go out in this big crazy world 🙂 It t is so awesome that you got the book, and signed – how special!
Your daughter is adorable! Enjoy her and the book!
Blessings! ♥♥
ahhhh I’m so glad you liked this Ana Star.
That’s why I probably had 4 so I had to let go a bit; although they’ll tell you all eyes on them! 🤣🤣🤣
I know it was sooooo awesome to get the book.
Thanks she really is a cutie pie!
i will thanks!
big hugs!

A beautiful post, Cindy. Lovely.❤❤❤
Thanks so much Jeff!
Glad you enjoyed it!!! 💖
I’m glad this story had a happy ending. I hope your daughter stays for a month.
Thanks John.
I got her for a day and she’s off but I’ll get another hug in on Sunday now that we’re al vacinated. A month would be amazing.
💖
This was such a precious post, everything about it was special. Your beautiful kids look just like you my friend who is not so far away. What a special gift that book and the way in which you received it so special. You are special and people can see it that is for certain. A bright light shining on all of us. Your daughter looks just like you. What happy children you have and wonderfully happy playful spirits. I miss my daughter too. Have the most precious time with her my friend. Love you bunches, Joni
soooo happy you liked it Joni and found it so special. Oh that is such a complement because she is just a beauty inside and out. She is just busy and working hard, Life is different for then vs when we grow up.
I know the book truly was a gift and I was sooo grateful to him for that.
O’m truly struck by your kind words and here, thank you so much my dear friend. Yes, they are such amazing beings and I am soooo blessed indeed.
She’s off to a wedding and back on Sunday for dinner, but it was a lovely day and I enjoyed every minute of it. I hope you get to see your daughter soon. Love you too Joni! xo🌷💖💖💖
That was a precious shot of her and she is beautiful. Of course she and your other children have beautiful hearts and compassion. They are just like mom. The likeness is uncanny.
Yes they work people so that is difficult to have a personal life at all anymore. So time with them is such a blessing.
You two must have been feeling feisty it look like you were catching some cookie dough. A priceless photograph.
Your piece was beautifully written and it made me cry. Then when I read your next post I couldn’t stop crying. I felt such sadness for you and your family but it also made me think of Gizzy. They are such a light here on earth because they give unconditionally which we can’t do. I know many of us try but only Christ was capable of that kind of love.
Take care my dear friend and don’t put too much pressure on yourself.
I love you, Joni 💝💕🤗❤️
Have a lovely meeting with your daughter♥️
And that’s such a great gift!! I don’t know him but I’ll search for him in the blogosphere right now!!
Thanks Akshita!!!!! It was a fun visit for sure!!!
Oh good… you will like him I’m certain of it!~.
Let me know what you think. He has a very kind heart like you.💖
So glad she made it along with this wonderful gift!
Thanks much Pooja!
Meee too!!! 💖🌷
So sweet Cindy. A mom is a mom and a friend is a friend and both are so awesome 😍💖
Well put into perspective Ashok!
Thanks friend! 🙏🌷❤️
Oh, Cindy. Lots of hugs for you!
Appreciated!!! 🙏🙏🙏
It was my pleasure to send you this copy. This might be my most traveled book. Haha. I hope you like it. 😇
It was very kind and for the love of friends and family to deliver them packed so nicely through the miles. So lovely and so much appreciated!
I LOVE it Harsh!
You signed it Harsh so I’m gonna try to call you Harsh from now on.
Next publisher needs to send to USA too!
Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

That was really touching and I can see myself there after a few years . But, at the moment I will enjoy each and every moment with my daughter. I hope you are having a great time with your beautiful daughter.😊
Oh thanks so much Joyce.
That’s a great idea as we don’t get time back so enjoy that tine together. I will and thanks!

The life of a mom! 💞 Looking forward to your book review – looks like an interesting read.
Omg I was almost getting sad and angry initially but this ended up being the sweetest post!! You’re the kindest soul! Your daughter is so adorable. 😭💜💜
Oh Shruba,
hahahhahah glad you got the gist of it and enjoyed it! Thank you so much. She really is adorable. Oh you are very kind. I have to visit soon. I’m been so busy. 💖
Aww it’s alright, I’m glad to have readers like you to be honest. It’s a pleasure to connect with people here 💜
You are soooo sweet. so you have been writing,, not sure hoiw I’ve missed it but I will visit soon.
Blessings and love for our connection. I feel the same way! 💖
This made me smile because I can identify with it. Our kids are too busy to be bothered with us! Until it is time to come home! I love it. So nice you got your book you wanted so badly. Hope you had a wonderful time together with your daughter!
Dwight
So glad you can relate Dwight. Then I don’t feel so alone. I think we’re all busy these days which is the problem but when they’re home, it’s awesome. Yes, it was a very nice surprise, thanks.
We did have a great time and I’ll see her once more on Sunday night. Thanks a lot! 💖
I think the Covid situation has made connecting even more difficult!
For sure it has… somethings I welcome like loosing the extravaganza and others I miss … like the kind embrace!💖
Wow Cindy, so much love in this post.
Love for your daughter and the way she reciprocates that same beautiful love…
And then again with Harsh….
so beautiful…
makes me want to believe….good things do happen to good people….
You are a ball of positive energy and love…and the universe just gives back to you…
I’m so happy you had such a great time and were showered with so much love…
BTW this pic of your daughter is so gorgeous….she looks as lovely as you….so beautiful…
Awwww my sweet friend Rue! You are so kind and I appreciate you!
She is quite beautiful with a really kind heart. Just living her life and busy.
I know, I was sooooo touched with Harsh sending me his book. It truly touched my heart.
Yes, it is the unniversal flow of life and it all comes back to you for sure! As they do to you and will. Thank you for seeing my light as I do yours!
It was lots of fun. You are kind to say she looks as lovely as me but she is like you,,, knock dead gorgeous! Big hugs and love Rue!💖💖🤗🤗

I missed few of your posts already!! 😲😲😲 But here I am catching all the left overs….. ❤️❤️
This is beautifully penned with added humorous 😃😃😃. Glad that you got a copy of Kumar’s book. Have s blessed Sunday 🤗
Not a worry. things are in transition and flux.
Oh Thanks a lot! I’m so happy to have it too. And since he signed it Harsh, I’m trying to call him that but it’s hard. He said it doesn’t matter but still, I’ll try! 💖
You and your girls! I am so happy she showed up! And with Kumar’s book! Wow, she’s a sweetie! I hope you can enjoy Mom’s Day with all your kids! 🌞
Yeah, nice when I’m actually part of the circle. loved seeing her, She’ll be back in New York but I think I’ll see 2 of them and my son. I forgot it was mothers day in all of this! 💖💖💖💖
It’s an awesome post filled with so much of mother’s love n true friendship of you n Harsh. You n your thoughts are always unique dear Cindy. Happy weekend stay safe n enjoy your life. With loves 🥰💖💖
Oh my gosh, you made me cry as a mother and a daughter… yet, it was a comfort to know, to be reminded, how personal yet universal mother-child relationships, struggles, and heartaches can be. <3
Oh Laura,
I’m so glad you could relate. It truly is a universal experience we all go through said so well by you. They are our biggest joy and heartache as my mom says. Thanks so mcuh for coming by. It’s great to meet you. Are we friends? If not, we are now!!! 💖
Aw that poem was truly heartfelt and painfully relevant. I’m so glad you finally got that book too! 💖
Thanks D. It sooooo is true!!!
Yes, me too.. so happy! Thank you! 💖💖💖🌷🌷🌷
Of course!!💞
💖
Happy Reading! Enjoy the book.
Thanks so much Kritika! It’s good to see you!
I am, it’s awesome! 💖
That is great.
My pleasure (heart)
Thanks Kritika!
Truth here!
💖
🙂 🙂
💖💖
I really enjoyed this honest post Cindy. I know my Mom can relate to it too, she missed me a lot while I was away as all mothers do. Wonderfully poignant my friend ❤
so glad you liked it and give your mom a knowing hug for me. I’m sure she’s glad to have you back but happy you got time with your boys!!! Thanks so much💖🌷🙏
Absolutely, that’s the challenge of the Mom hat….giving, receiving and alloving our hearts (our children) to explore outside of our realm when they need to and having faith they will return. The Mom’s job is never finished 😊 I sure will tell my Mom, she always sends her love to you 💕
It’s so true!!! The swinging evolving door that continues to open to hearts and needs of your beloved children is always at the heart of a mother. You’re so right… never done. Great and give her a hug!! 💖🤗🤗🤗❣️
