...when you have a forgetful child. Through my Facebook page, I found out that my son had gotten engaged. Cory...being Cory...had misplaced our new phone number and my email address...so sent me a message on Facebook. Imagine my surprise...and I do mean that in a good way. My son has been on a track of new adventures of late...bought a house and got engaged. Two huge biggies.
He has been working for a company called Eco-Shuttle (Google it..very cool) that one his friends started and is their Fleet Manager. He works on the buses/vans cars and keeps them going. I think he finally got the Yin/Yang thing in sync with this. He was one of those kids that tested high in science and the Arts...with this company, I think he found his niche and can use both sides of him....the scientific and the creative.
So...about my New Girl. Her name is Adie (A-dee). I have never met her and she was kind of under the radar when I would talk to Cory. He had gone through a break up about two years ago that wiped him out. We would talk and I finally asked him after some months...are you seeing anyone? He said yes but kind of danced a bit...but I could hear a smile. They've been friends for awhile and I think just kept running into each other because of mutual friends...they had started dating and Cory said "I decided to go for it"...meaning get into another relationship...and he's happy.
I emailed Adie to tell her congratulations and make baby step at getting to know my New Girl (please know that is meant with every smile in my body and because I didn't have a daughter and so she is my "New Girl"). What I loved...she responded to my email...and her first sentence was "How I love your son!" Hoe could I ask for better than that?
I want Cory to have what Bob and I have...what I finally found. The ability to accept what other people give you...and you give them...to know that someone knows and sees your warts and toady moments...and still kisses you...warts and all.
How I love that man of mine. He rocks my world.
May Cory and Adie have that same music for the rest of their lives.
