Catching Jane

“It was so good to see you,” Mom says, squeezing me tightly. “I couldn’t be prouder.”


The lump in my throat makes it harder to speak, so I just nod, hugging her back. “I’m gonna miss you.”


And I realize even as I say it just how much I’ve missed her in the time before she came to visit. 


Having my mom stay nearby for the past week and seeing her every day only reminded me about why I was working my ass off at Billmore. I grew up seeing her struggle so hard to take care of both of us all on her own. She was the inspiration for my work ethic, for my desire to make something of myself and become successful in my own right. 


And now that I have that mindset, I appreciate her so much more. I know she did her best with me. 


“Tell Noah I expect to see him soon and that he better take care of my daughter,” she adds, a mock warning that warms my heart.


“I’ll pass on the message.” I smile at her. “Have a safe trip back.”
