Still blue

All last week was filled with the stress of preparing my mother to leave for her vacation, and although I didn't want her to go, it was too late to do anything about it. Now we're staying with my aunt, and although I love her, the fact that my mother is gone eats at me. What's stranger is that I am not usually this attached to her. Now this week has been off to a bad start, and I have a feeling the rest of the week won't be any better.
