umma sohn

i told my mom about yesterday morning's episode, and she didn't have much of a reaction. hours later, as i was about to sleep, she called again to say she felt terribly sad to picture me that way alone. and that it hurt her to be so far and unable to help me. i don't like to worry my mom. i do my best to avoid it, since she has enough to worry about for herself. but somehow, just for last night, it felt nice to know she did.
