    I wish my mother was like this,.I’d.actually read her messages. She just uses my phone number as her personal journal. I get dozens of messages a day about nothing. I have to mute her and check every now and then, scrolling through useless shit about—hang on, I’ll look at the last three topics; dogs and horses going to heaven, liking nature and not suburbia, the sermon at a mid-week church event—and make sure nothing important happened. I’ve told her to chill, it doesn’t work.

      if you’re lucky enough to be nearby, try taking her out to the movies and coffee after, once a week, it helped my mom and she’s even got her own litl circle of ladies now so i don’t have to go with her if i’m too busy
