avoiding regret

I'm soo happy... my mommy is going to fly out here at the end of the month for one of my final dress shopping adventures. I was really feeling pretty blue about the fact that she couldn't share this experience with me. It's a once in a lifetime mother-daughter thing to do. And I wasn't feeling blue because bringing the mom along to find your wedding dress is tradition, I was sad because I really wanted her to be there when I walked out of the change room onto that little podium and saw me as a woman. It's silly, I guess. But I knew it would be one of those things that I would feel regret about a little later in life. So I decided to be proactive, for once, and not let this experience slip away. I talked to my mom and she was feeling very much the same way. So now she'll be on a flight out here at the end of the month. Lisa and I can show here my top two or three dresses and I think I'll probably be able to make a decision from there... I will either choose one of the dresses or come up with a design myself and have a dear friend (and amazing designer) sew it up for me.

My son is my son till he gets him a wife,
but my daughter is my daughter all the days of her life.
