Just picked up some messages that Jerry said I needed to hear on his cell phone. One was from my middle son (Jerry's from a first marriage. I took him out of an abusive environment and raised him as my own at the age of 3). He called his dad and told him to tell me that he had called to "wish Tomi a happy mother's day". He's ALWAYS called me Mom!... Well, except after I was hospitalized in a deep depression. I said something pretty mean about him, but I've since apologized and tried to make up for it. It's me that's talking like a dutch uncle to get the rest of the family to pitch in for the airline round trip ticket for him and my two grandkids. I've just about got it together... Of course, he doesn't know this... yet. Well... he will when he opens his email I just sent him.

Ah, DAMN! And I was just getting over the Mother's Day doldrums!

But still ... the Mother's Day thought is there? That is a good start.

I hope it works out

[SeptemberMorn]

Well... yeah... But we've been talking quite a bit for a year or so... so why couldn't he call me? Guess it's gonna take a while...

maybe he tried the home number and you were out. at least he did try to call even if it was on his dads cell phone right? think positive.

[SeptemberMorn]

We don't have a house phone. J and I only have our cell phones... and I was never without my cell. And he called me TOMI!!!

[bebop]

call him and let him know his dad passed on the message to you but you just wonder why he didn't call you himself. ask him if something is wrong. communicate hon

[SeptemberMorn]

I sent him an email. For some reason, it's hard to get him on the phone, too. AAAAARGH! John has been really put out with him recently because he wants to communicate to him what we're doing to get him down this summer and he hardly ever returns John's calls. He's so much like his dad!!!!
