Mothers have this magical ability to call at exactly the right time and tell you exactly the right thing.

My mothers phone calls have precipitated no less than 2 miracles in my life. To phrase it dramatically, the first saved my soul, the second saved my life. And the second one involved "It's time to come home", so I felt that pretty hard! Great story!

Thanks Scoot! I was a little weary of going with the "mom phone call" theme but there are archetypes for a reason!! I'm being a bit silly, obviously.

But yes, a mother's wisdom is a thing of mystery and beauty and I think most of us have had those conversations that set us straight. Glad this resonated with you.

Brilliant, hard-hitting and not a word wasted. A truth only a mother can give and be listened to. Bravo!
