My mom was supposed to come for a visit this upcoming weekend. She was coming into town for a conference, and was tacking on a couple of days to the end of her stay to visit with us. I was feeling like it was a bit of a watershed moment-- it's the first time ever that she hadn't talked about staying in a hotel (she usually stays in hotels, even though I've always had a guest room), and I worked hard to set up a really nice guest room for her in hopes of making it a good experience.
This would have been her fourth visit to the area in the 14 years I've lived here (she came up for my MA graduation ten years ago, the kids' birth, and when the kids were 2 months old and S was scheduled to be out of town for a week).
She texted me yesterday to say she's sick and has to cancel her trip. I'm so bummed!!
