my day-to-day thoughts

This is such a random memory that I just thought of but it kind of made me laugh and then miss my mom.

This was my bridal shower. Two days before the wedding. It was a super busy weekend with lots of emotions and stress. That morning was so extremely stressful. I had to wake up in Greensboro super early with mom and family in tow and drive around to pick up and deliver flowers to Sanford, where they would be taken care of by a family friend. Then, driving to Raleigh, I missed my last consultation with the venue/catering. On my way to the bridal shower, which I was pretty late to as well, I just broke down. I was driving and sobbing at the same time. Then, my mom next to me started sobbing. I was sobbing because I couldn’t get a handle on things and my mom was sorry because she couldn’t do more than be next to me. It was pretty bad. It just breaks my heart just thinking about how much we sobbed and just cried our eyes out holding hands.

We finally made it to the bridal shower and it was just so pretty and well-done. I was so thankful for great and strong friends for pulling through for me and of course, had another sobfest with my momma, who was also touched by all my friends’ hard work. It’s so laughable now but we were such crybabies.
