Not so Merry Christmas

Today is Christmas day and I am lonely. I have not heard from her, but I anticipated this. I miss her so much, it hurts. I went to run an errand with my mother earlier today and she said something which made me cry. I had shared with my father yesterday my feelings towards her. He was very touched that I did because I normally do not share much with my parents. Particularly with anything personal. My mother told me my father spoke to her about this and she said she was sorry to hear my current situation. She only wishes I find someone who makes me happy. She met her briefly about a month ago (the Tuesday before Thanksgiving). I had not planned on her meeting my mother that day, but it worked out that way. She had met my father the Thursday previous. The meetings were brief, but both of them are good judges of character. What my mother told me today really touched me. When she mentioned her, my eyes immediately teared. She said she had no idea how I felt about the short lady she had met. She wished she had had more time to be with her and get to know her. She then asked if she was coming back. That's when tears flowed down my cheeks. I told her no. She then said that if she ever returned, that I needed to let her know that she had their full support in whatever she needed. I cried profusely when she said that. My mother told me she loved me and hugged me. My mother does not hug me often. Including this time, I can count on my hand the number of times she has hugged me. This was a very special moment. I thought about her the rest of the afternoon. I prayed soon after. Then she sent me a picture of herself. She looked stunning. I miss her. Not sure if I will hear from her tonight.
