Yesterday, I had lunch with my mom and she told me something I never knew about her. This doesn't happen often, as we are very close, and know even the oddest details about each other..
But I learned something new. She's been keeping a journal. She said she wants my sister and I to have something when she is gone so we can know how she was at 50, 60, 70 years old. We can give it to our children - a blood-lined train of thoughts. Also, there is a secret in this journal. Not her secret, but someone else's. I tried to get her to tell me what it was, but she said I'd have to wait until she is gone, and find the journal.
Ahhh!!!!
I teased her about it for the rest of the day, trying to get it out of her.. haha
..but there is someone's big secret out there who she cannot betray.
