Grandma is a label I cherish. Crazy Cat Lady is also label I wear proudly. So it is for all the women in our family.
Asking Belle to call me at 3 am, my time, especially on a Saturday night is foolish business. I know this, but she's a tough cookie to read over text. "I miss your voice," I whined. Instead, I received a video. This woman, my child, lives alone with her cat...
...and I know exactly how drunk she was from the elegant sound she emitted and the immediate follow-up "nitey nite mama" text. Ohhboyohh, do I miss her.
