I never had both parents away from home before. Usually it's my dad who is away in another state working. My mom called me while I was at work today. She told me she was going to another state to help my dad with his business. She's been talking about it lately I just didn't think it was that fast. When she told me I started to worry about her. I know I can take care of my brother, me, and the house. I was worrying on how my mom was going there? Is she going to be safe? Will she find my dad? Will she get lost? Will people be a jerk to her cause she doesn't understand English? Did she take the things she needs and etc? She left in a hurry I didn't have time to ask.
Last time I spoke with her on the phone she was on the bus. She said the ride will take about a day or more. My mom is almost 40 years old. She takes great care of us. She probably doesn't need me to worry about her but I can't help it. Whenever I worry about my mom I understand how she felt when my brother and I don't answer our phone or don't tell her where we are. I told her to call me when she gets there.
I don't mind taking care of my little brother. I took care of him before. I have time now that school is going to be over next Monday. I only work on the weekends. I could clean and cook.
I don't mind my mom leaving. With her leaving I feel more grown up. I don't know why. Although if I could chose I have her stay.
Of course my mom didn't leave us alone. She made my grandpa come and stay with us. My grandpa was suppose to help my dad but he got an infection in one of his eye so his vision is blurry. Instead my mom went in his place. I told my mom I didn't need anyone but she wouldn't listen. She said she was afraid that I wouldn't come home at night. I told her I would never do something that.
P.S. Now I'm really not going to graduation. My mom left there won't be anyone left to attend it. I'll make sure she's there when I graduate from college!
