Mother's Day
May. 13th, 2007 11:11 pmSo, anybody out there do anything interesting for the holiday? Fox actually did me a big favor and had a whole mess of flowers flown in from Nigeria for my mom. Given that her mother is Titania, I think she was compensating for not being able to spend the day with her. Not that I'm gonna knock it. And of course, I went out and hung out with her for a while. Almost enough, though, to wish my last lol had been a little better timed. Being able to spend the day with her would have been a real nice Mother's Day gift.
Nash and Tachi, under quite a bit of supervision from Broadway, cooked for Katana (and Brooklyn, by extension). It's almost disturbing just how fast they've adapted to the idea of human/American holidays, but hey, they're kids, and the Gargoyles of tomorrow are almost certainly going to have to adapt to human ways more and more. But hey, they were trying to do something nice for their mom.
What surprised me, though, was that Angela got me a present. Don't know where she got it, or how, but... she found a red bomber jacket, just like the one I used to wear. And put a lot of effort into modifying it so I could wear it. I never even mentioned the thing to her, so I don't know how she found out (I don't think I ever even mentioned how upset I was over losing my old one to Goliath), but... It was a great gift.
I'm just surprised. I mean, I think of Angela as my step-daughter, but that's because my thoughts are still mostly humanish, especially in terms of relationships. Goliath's my mate, and her father, so that makes her my step-daughter. But I never really thought that she thought of me as a mother figure. Maybe more of a best friend or a big sister or something. If I were really pushed to it, I think she's trying to fill the void from losing Demona. I know she spent a lot of the night up where we're keeping her... At least she's better than she was. Thanks for that much, Harley. But I'm touched. I just hope I can be as good as she seems to think I am.
I am grateful for all sides of my family.
