After finishing drying my tears, I got in my car and headed towards home. I knew I'd have to face the music sooner or later.
As I walked through the door, I was greeted by some amazing smells: pecan pie, apple cider, and chocolate chip cookies. Needless to say, it smelt like heaven.
"Mom?" I asked as I rounded the corner, toward the kitchen.
"In here." she replied.
"Hi darling." she said as I came into view.
"Hi mom. Can we talk?" I responded.
"Sure, what's up?" she asked, turning away from the cookie dough she was mixing.
"I need to apologize. I'm sorry for the way I acted, and for the comments I made. I'm grateful for all you and dad have done for me, I was just a little upset, and surprised. Please forgive me." I said, hoping she would.
"Honey, of course we forgive you. And I'm sorry we didn't tell you sooner, we just thought this way was best. But you're all grown up, and we should have trusted you. And for that I'm sorry." she said, beginning to tear up.
And here the waterworks go again. I started crying, again, and walked to my mom and gave her a big hug.
"I forgive you." I said. "Thank you for caring so much."
"Honey, we'll love you no matter what." She said drying her tears.
"Thanks mom." I said, doing the same.
Then my mom's expression changed, to one of shock.
"My baby's getting married." She said in disbelief. "You're getting married."
"I'm getting married." I said, really grasping what was happening. My entire life was about to change, and all with just two little words.
I do.
