I have waited patiently for two years to finally meet Tess, the girl that loves my boy and the one and only that holds the key to his heart. Throughout those two long years of waiting to meet Tess I have had my share of fantasies of what the actual meeting would be like. Tess and I running into each others arms and letting the tears flow. I have felt for so long that we were co-chairs of the “Bronson is the greatest” fan club. I also thought we had already formed a bond of mom/daughter or sister/friend. But what I found was that what I had hoped for did not materialize.
Tess did not care that she was meeting me. She probably said ten sentences to me the entire time we were together. Bronson claims she was just upset and didn’t want to say good-bye to him. I can totally understand that, but I felt bad. I had waited so long and thought she would feel the same way.
However, I did develop a nice friendship with Marsha Shlaer, her mom. We got along beautifully. She was wonderful. Whew…..What a relief. I was very concerned about that. So it is funny to be here now blogging about something that was so unexpected. I love Tess because Bronson loves her. I wish I had had the opportunity to develop a greater bond, a stronger relationship and a deeper understanding of the one my baby loves.
it’s not true that i didn’t care that i was meeting you. not at all. it was just an awful time for me because i was wanting to keep seeing bronson for ever and not have him go back to school and i was ridiculously jealous of all the people at Asheville School because it didnt work out for me there and it did work out for them. so there was a lot of stress. also it was kind of awkward with my mom there because i know she’s been jealous of you in the past and i didnt want to make those feelings come back up by being overly excited to see you. but i was excited to meet you and i hope that we can have a better experience next summer when i come visit. if that’s still alright. but i do love you like a mother, sister, and friend, so dont think i dont.
