Mom is probably pulling up to the curb right now at Philadelphia International Airport, about to leave everything she has known, loved, fought for -and sometimes lost- behind. She's got a pile of cash and a lease on an apartment waiting to be signed.
For as much trepidation as I'm experiencing, as someone who loves her and wants to see her succeed, there's an equal amount of pride and excitement. For as long as I can remember, once my mom sets her mind to something, she gets it done. It's everything in between that causes the worry and the panic attacks!
Still, this is her new life, and as someone who was in her same position almost exactly a year ago, I'm excited and hopeful. There is something about making a decision because it's right for you, as opposed to choices based on unfortunate necessities.
I hope all her dreams and plans about her new life in Los Angeles come to life the same way mine have. Even with all the difficulty and tears typical of such a drastic transition. As much as I stress and bitch and moan and worry and worry and worry about it, I really do hope this is her "phoenix" moment.

Danielle,
I have been meaning to comment on your blog before this one too. This is so exciting for you ... and for mom! And I hope all goes well. But it will go well because no matter what her journey will still take her where she needs to go and belongs - and in the end everything always works out just the way it's supposed to. Happy thoughts to you and mom. ;)
XOXO, Courtney
This is like some insane sitcom. Don't jimp the shark Deebo!!!!
