Soup!

Cancer Horoscope for week of October 8, 2009

Soup is your metaphor for the week, Cancerian. Symbolically speaking, it's the key to your personal power and a model for the approach you should take in everything you do.

I was proud of him that he was there for his friend, but to remember to be there in three months, in six months when his friend really needed someone to talk to, to understand. We cried together. Then he pulled himself together and told me he just needed to hear my voice, to tell me how much he loved me.
Being a mom will never go away. It will always involve being there for your child. This is the first time I privately say, "Thank god for cell phones."

I Love You

Ev just called. One of his roommates got word this evening that his father had died unexpectedly. Ev was pretty shaken and wanted to call home to tell us that he loved us.

Tonight I am feeling that I raised my son right. It was good to hear his voice, talk to him about his friend, and hear those three little words....
