the forecast

Ever since "the storm" my parents have been acting differently.

Dad: He has been nice, understanding, and calm. He gets along with my mom and the dogs. Very strange in my house.

Mom: BIG CHANGE!!

I don't know what happened but I feel like she is renovating her life after all the damages the storm had caused. She is out every night with her friends, just gossiping and laughing. Taking dance classes and going to salsa clubs and getting dressed up with make-up and heels! Always smiling and understanding, not that she hasn't been in the past but know her mannerisms have changed. My mom is cleaning house of all the useless baggage she had stored. She is doing things to improve her situation and I am so proud of her for her new self-confidence and self-esteem. Mi amo mi madre mucho. I hope to have the same beauty she has when I am older. Although, I have learned from her mistakes that I will not fall into the same despair she once found herself in. There is still much to do about rebuilding the wreck but I know my mom will recover.

Parents can either make you crazy or keep you sane. My parents just keep me on my toes. I will never know what the weather might be the next day.
