Today was one of those days where I just watched the clock
and prayed for 5 pm. I was clearing my
desk and shutting the computer off, when my cell phone rang. I picked it up and saw Man-child’s face. Now, a few weeks ago, I would have been in a
panic- is something wrong, did something happen, did he need something, do I
have to go over there, did somebody hurt my baby.. and the questions could go
on and on.
Inhale... Breath....
I answered the phone:
Me: Hey.
MC: Hey Ma
Me: Everything OK
MC: Yeah.. I just
wanted to call you and see how your day went.
(me – getting choked up)
Me: I’m OK. Just getting ready to go home.
MC: Ma.. I just wanted
to tell that I really should have listened to you.
Me: What happen?
MC: Nothing. It’s
just that now I realized that a lot of stuff you told could have helped me and
I just wanted to do what I wanted. Now I
have to pay for it.
Me: (swallow)
hmmmmmm
MC: I mean - I know you went to college and stuff and had to do some of this stuff and I just should have listened.
Me: You know I am not going to tell you something that will hurt you or will not benefit you.
MC: I know. Classes were good
today. I had a quiz in History but that class is so boring – half of the class
went to sleep. But other than that I am
ok.
Me: Well you only
have about 4-5 weeks left in the semester and Thanksgiving will be here very
soon.
MC: I know.. well I
am going to let you go so you can get the subway home. Text me so I’ll know you go home ok.
Me: I will.. Love you
MC: Love you more
Can you see me smile J
