Finally told my mom

23 days until I leave for Tijuana. I was running out of time to tell her and it was stressing me out so bad keeping it a secret. My mom is one of my best friends and I just did not want to stress her out or make her worry with the fact that I am going to Mexico for surgery. I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders. Things went way better than I expected. She is 100% confident with my decision and where I am going because she knows me well enough to know that I have done my research. She just hates that I am going to be so far away if something was to go wrong (from one side of the state to the other). I feel so good now. I love my mom.

That is great that you were able to share this with her. I am glad she is being supportive, family support means the world. Mom is going to worry, all moms do that. My mom is 80 and I am 46 and she still worries about me all the time.

Thanks Amanda. It is a huge peace of mind. She even bought me an iPad mini for my birthday so I would have it to take with me to Mexico.
