My Mom is leaving...

So this morning i woke up to my phone ringing. It was my makeshift mom. I call her momaseena. She sounded a little wierd, i knew something was up. So we talked for a few minutes and then she blurted it out, "Honey, me and the kids are moving in a few weeks." I was like oh where to...thinking it was just down the road from where they are now. She told me they are moving to another county. Again thinking maybe they were moving close by asked where...she told me to Dickson. Thats like 2 hrs away from me! Right now they live about 10 minutes away. Before i get into this too much i am going to give a little back story on why her and her family mean so much to me. When i moved here to TN over 6 yrs ago, i was suppossed to meet my mom at the airport. I was only 17 at the time, and i was in a new surrounding. So i was scared. When my mom didn't show, my older brother told me to take a cab to her house. I did, but the cab driver was a foreigner and couldn't even pronounce where i needed to go. So finally after being in the cab going around in circles for over 2 hrs my brothers and sister-in-law called his cab agency and had his dispatcher tell him to drop me off so that someone else could come get me. Needless to say that driver got fired. So there i was sitting on my luggage at a gas stop, over 2400 miles from home and my family. My little sister, who had moved from TN back to Oregon that same day, called someone she knew to pick me up. Turns out i was only about 20 minutes from my mom's house. But had no idea. When i finally got to my mom's house, it was dark. No one was home. So i called my little sister again, she told me that her friend lived right down the road and that she would call and see if i could stay there til mom got home. When i got to the friends house, i was greeted with such warmth and hospitality. It was like walking into someone house i had known for years. I stayed there that night and the next night, since my mom was still awall. My mom finally made it home, and was shocked when she saw me. Guess she forgot. I found out she was getting drunk in the hotel next to the airport while i was in my cab ride from hell. Just like my mom. Within a few weeks of my being at my moms house, she and i butted heads. So i moved in with my other family down the road. I stayed there for ever it seemed like. Up until the day i moved in with Kevin. Tomaseena's family is my family. I call her my mom and her kids are my brothers and sister. My family goes to her house regularly for dinners and bbq's. So it's gonna be wierd with her gone. Damn. I'm gonna start crying again.
