My mom called yesterday because she was feeling lonely and really missed me. I was sitting in the guest room with the balcony doors open, looking at the near-full moon which was particularly illuminous and gorgeous last night. I told her to go outside to look at the moon, thinking that maybe if we were looking at the same thing, then maybe she wouldn't feel so alone. Yeah, it's so American Tail. But it was overcast where she was and she couldn't see it. Oh well.
