do they have internet where you are?

Hi Mom,

I had the strangest impulse to call you today and ask if I could take you out for tea. As I was reaching for my phone I realized how silly a thought this was. I still have your number saved in my cell phone and cannot bring myself to delete it. I'm not even sure its your number anymore. Things have been hard without you, Dad has really thrown himself into this wedding planning nonsense and I wish you were here to stick up for me. I blame my crazy hippie-dippy ideals on you. But I bought a foofoo fancy dress that was probably made in a sweat shop for more money than I care to admit. Aunt Kelly and Grammy cried when I put it on, the entire time I was wondering what you would have thought about it. I'm getting through life though, it's just not what I would have forseen for myself.

Love you Mom.
