Five Minute Friday: Comfort

Stop. Drop. Write (for five minutes)

Go

Comfort.  It's a comforting word. It reminds me of tight hugs, my dad's spaghetti, and a warm blanket.  {Not all at the same time, though; that would be messy.}

I call my mom every day at lunch.  It's a habit. I even told her once that I can time my lunch breaks by looking at the time when I called her and returning an hour later.  {Again, not that I'm actually on time...}  I just like to touch base and check in.  If for some reason we can't talk for a few days, I start to get antsy.  There have been a few times where I've been mad at her and didn't tell her, but I just didn't call. {Sorry, mom.}  They made be feel really bad. A worse feeling than being upset or hurt about a situation with my mom.

I find comfort in the easy routine of keeping in touch with my mom.  Most days we don't talk about anything at all.  Sometimes I call even when I don't really have time to talk-just to say "I love you" and hear her say the same.  Sometimes we talk for a long time. It doesn't matter how long, or the content of the conversation; I just taking comfort in talking to my Mommy.
