Whenever I hear my mom’s cell go off (especially when it’s on vibrate) I get really antsy and I start to whine and cry and I turn into a big baby. In the past when it would go off, it meant mom was leaving to go out.. meaning she was leaving me behind and at home alone. I hated that. When I heard the cell go off, even if I was sleeping, I would jump up and run to the door and guard it so mom couldn’t escape. And then I’d cry cry cry. She goes out less now. Probably because she is old, but that’s cool with me. When she gets a call or text, the old memories pop up and I start to cry all over again even if she doesn’t walk anywhere near the door. I guess old habits die hard. Who knew the sound of a cell phone going off would make me panic this much?? 🙁

Love,
Oakie
