So today is just like any other day, except for I have a stomach ache that won't let up and my mother just informs me that she just returned from......a LUNCH DATE! This will NEVER due! Granted I may be having a moment of immature adolescent thinking and behavior but I DON'T LIKE IT! My father pasted away just a little over a year ago and already I have to deal with this! I mean granted my mother is in her 50's but looks like she is in her 40's. She has a beautiful personality and everyone gravitates towards her. She is hilarious and who wouldn't want to date her but hell I am not ready for this! I don't mean to act like the spoiled child that I am but who cares! I have only seen my mother interact romantically with one man in my 25 years on this earth....my father! So now what am I supposed to do? I know she has got to get hers and everyone needs companionship but isn't there like a grieving/bereavment/mourning period where dating is prohibited?
So I do what I know best and ask the advice of my closest friends about the situation. Giselle, my BFF and mothers surrogate daughter, after laughing hysterically stated she feels that I may feel like I may be replaced if another gentlman were to enter the pucture...Ummmm NO! I am her ONLY child and I am the Clyde to her Bonnie! Also that I may be focusing on all the bad that can come about in a relationship instead of the good! OK WHATEVER! I inform James, Oh did I mention that it is HIS GODFATHER with whom she went on the lunch date with! After we both get over the initial shock I tell him I don't like it and to inform his Godfather that I am crazy! Everyone else that I ask tells me to get over it and tha I am overreacting! WHATEVER, OH WELL and QUE LASTIMA!
My mother and I have been through Hell and back again and have been able to come out overcome obstacles together and have been able to maintain an extremely close relationship. Perhaps I am being selfish and do not want the attention she gives me to be given to another man. Perhaps I am scared that another man may put her through superfluous non-sense. Perhaps I am afraid! Who knows, all I know is shortly after hearing the LUNCH DATE scenario.... I THREW UP! Could it have been my already upset stomach or could it have been this TRAGIC news! You form your own conclusion but I know I DON'T LIKE IT!
