I’m moving to New York in eight days. Wow. My mother and I are very close, and I know she’s having a hard time accepting the fact that I will be so far away. We went shopping today and I decided to buy her a MacBook Air so we can talk on FaceTime and Skype. It’s not the same as in real life, but hopefully it’ll help her.

Mom bought me so many things for me when I was a kid. Now that I have money, it’s time for me to return the favor.
