Letters and Snowpacalypses

[snogged]

Mom:

I always wished we had that kind of relationship. You know...the ones they celebrate in movies and television shows? The one my best friend, Angie, and her mom have?

But we don't. Not really. Because as the letter subject of the day suggests...I'm scared to get into that with you. I'm afraid that if I go to that level that I will violate some unspoken rule between us.

That's not to say I haven't told you some things. I've confided with you when it comes to struggles I've had organizing my finances. I've talked to you about the struggles I've had with employment. But for the most part, it's about as superficial as it can get. We only skim the surface. You never see how deep the iceberg goes and I'm not really ready to show you that yet.

I don't think we'll ever have the type of relationship that makes Rory and Lorelai Gilmore look like distant relatives, but maybe, someday, I'll let you know what my biggest fears are.

Love,

Ann


I'm grateful to not be located in the part of the state that's predicted to get 30 inches of snow, but it seems like there were certainly be lots of gusting winds and drifting snow between tonight and tomorrow. I hope that those of you in the thick of it are being safe!

Remember: Be Prepared! Not Scared!
