Day 349. 28 years later

   Today it's 28 years since my parents got married. That sounds like a lot, huh? A lifetime spent together. Ups and downs, laughs and tears, a lot of hard work raising me and my brother. 

   I know that many times we're not on the same page regarding life issues and I know it's difficult for them to see beyond the bare necessities like having a good job, getting married and having a beautiful family but in the end I admire them. Because they're still together, still loving and respecting each other. They raised us beautifully even if I thought they're over protective. I guess they're just parents. And they want the best for their kids. 

   I wish I'd get my 28th wedding anniversary too. And be happy and in love just like them:) 

Happy anniversary, dear mom and dad!

Day 200. Enjoy it while it lasts

   I called her to tell her I'm hungry. Yeah. I still do that sometimes. She was waiting for me looking out the window. When I looked up and I saw her, I instantly smiled and waved. It's a thing we do when we wait for each other to come home:) And as I got closer to the block of flats I took a good look at her while smiling: "She's so awesome, my best friend and my confident, my tv shows mate and my role model. I'm so happy to have her. To look at her and know she's there. Still there. I love her so much" I thought to myself melancholically. 

   I wanted to get inside the block of flats when my eyes stopped on a death announcement. A neighbor of ours died. He was only 58. And there it was. Capital letters. "Loved FATHER and HUSBAND." Father. Father. He died. "Wow. Now I really feel lucky she's still with me. Cos she's the best mom one could have. She's... MY mom":)
