Mama and me

I just finalized my plans and booked my flight to visit my mother for Christmas! I haven't seen her in person in so long! Plus, a couple of my relatives who I've been out of touch with but whom I remember being pretty awesome will be around. Yes, everything else about the situation will be trying, but I can deal with that. It's the price I have to pay (in addition to plane fare) to be with my mama again.
