I was so grateful for my mother. It wasn’t every day I thought that way, and when I was younger, I hadn’t always told her how important she was to me. But now, I had no problem telling how invaluable she was to our family. It wasn’t just that she helped all the time, but it was also the little things she did that were thoughtful and caring.
Like tonight–she came back when the party was over and stayed with Emilia so she could watch her throughout the night. I was so grateful for her help. She was always there when I needed her most. Tonight was no different.
Tomorrow night was the night before the wedding. Elio and I would carry on tradition and sleep apart for the first time in a very long time. Tonight, we would be together, and Mom ensured that we wouldn’t have any interruptions.
It was so traditional. Elio and the men in the wedding party would go to a nearby hotel. The ladies and the wedding party would come here to our home and we would have an adult slumber party.
