So it has taken me MUCH time to accept the fact that my mom is unable to come over for the birth of my first child and her first grandchild. It was slightly devastating but she is a single parent going to school full-time and financially it's just not an option. Even with DH and I offering to pay as much of it as we could...holiday tickets are expensive and she couldn't afford the extra. A good friend of mine's mother spoke with my mom last night and said that she'd like to pay for a ticket for my mom to come for the birth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Can you believe that!? My friend's mom has only met me once and out of the kindness of her heart is making this amazing and super special thing a possibility. I can't even put into words how overwhelmed and thankful I am at the sheer thought of my mom being here! GOOD PEOPLE DO EXIST!
Re: AW: GOOD PPL DO EXIST!!!!
Christmas Angel indeed!
My mom gets to stay for 10 whole days and has had family members volunteer to help with my sister and check in on my brother while she's out of town.
Plus now my mom can bring over a bunch of the American products I've been missing so much.
YAY!
Most importantly though...she isn't going to have to wait an indefinite period of time before meeting her first grandbaby!!!!
