What do you do on a Sunday when you bored?

Why am I even bored on such a special Sunday? I mean, today is not only Mother’s day, but also my mother’s birthday. Why the hell am I bored then? Well, my mom is not in town… so, there’s nothing I can do about that.

I called her in the morning. I told her how much I loved her and that she means the world to me. I told her that I understood that because of “her duty to the world” we won’t be able to spend the day together.

But that doesn’t mean that I really understand, right? It just means that I’m willing to share my mom with all the other homeless children who need her too. I think she was crying on the other side of the phone, but when I asked her she said she wasn’t.
Did Sim call her, I asked. (But what I was really asking was whether dad had remembered her birthday.)

Yes, Sim did call, and, yes, dad did call to wish her an ‘awesome day’. Not a happy birthday and or a happy mother’s day, mind you. But dad has always been like that, never specific, doesn’t really like expressing himself in words.

And then mom told me something I hadn’t really expected her to tell me…she says she’s always wanted to tell me, just didn’t know how to, was always waiting for the right time, but every time she wanted to tell me, she just couldn’t…

“Mom, stop rattling – tell me already!” the suspense was killing me.

She tells me.

Uncomfortable, awkward SILENCE. Sigh. Thanks God what he told me wasn’t what I thought it. She told me that she has met someone, and she’d love me to meet this someone.

I didn’t know what to say really. I just can’t get used to the thought of mom with someone other than dad. I guess that’s the case with all the children whose parents are divorced – that’s what Linda says at least.

“Your mom deserves to be loved too – look at it in that way, Zee” she said when I called her to tell about that “awkward moment”.

Yes, mom deserves to be happy too, I guess…but I wish she was here too. If she was here, I wouldn’t be so bored. I wouldn’t be so sad too. Mom wherever you, whatever you are doing, just be happy. I miss you. I love you.
