I was so happy she liked it since I wanted her to know that I was doing fine
When I called mom, she was in a hurry and said we would talk when she got home. I wanted to tell her I was leaving over the phone so that she didn’t try to convince me to stay. However, I waited until she got home and brought up the topic. I had a fantastic job offer, but it was in another state. Mom thought it was somewhere near, but it wasn’t. My new base of operations was going to be in Santa Barbara. Mom had to sit down when she heard the news, and I tried as best as I could to explain why it was such a wonderful opportunity. Mom said nothing for some time, then she stood up and hugged me. She said she’d never hold me back no matter how much she’d miss me. A month later, I flew to Santa Barbara and began my new position as a top manager at the new company. Work was great, and I was getting used to the new environment. The weather was always good, and I had discovered a favorite pot shop where I’d buy some CBD oils. About 6 months later, I flew mom to Santa Barbara for a tour of this lovely city. She loved it just as much as I did and even spoke of coming back to tour it with her friends. I was so happy she liked it since I wanted her to know that I was doing fine. Mom flew home a week later, and I had to admit I missed having her around. She promised to come to visit as often as she could, but it was my turn to go home for Christmas in December.
