Guest Post: Angel
I was an angel in her eyes. Yes, every text had ” Oh you’re such an angel”. You think that would be such a compliment right? Yeah, I did too.
So who is this person and why do they think I’m such an angel. This is none other than the mother of my girlfriend. This 54 year old devoted mormon from Utah. Hard to believe huh! I’m the angel who nursed her ill daughter back to good health. I’m the angel who supported her precious child when deciding to move to Saudia Arbia. The one who flew out to celebrate her birthday. Even though I had only met her once and spent only a few hours in her presence.
You could say wow!! How lucky to be loved and accepted. Well, now here’s the kicker. Yes, just like most things it was too good to be true.
Mom flew out to Saudi for daughters birthday. She took the gifts I bought my girlfriend. Nothing explicit, degrading or disrespectful. They had a great time together. Now Mom is home and she came back with something other than jet lag.
Distaste comes to mind. No, probably an emotion much strong than distaste. I guess she found out me and my girlfriend were more than coworkers. Mom no longer responds to texts, struggled through the only phone call made and ended it with” I’m sorry I’m so distracted”. No I love you or you’re an angel. Just repeatedly ” I’m sorry I’m distracted”.
I guess this angel lost her wings!
