Mom and I were estranged for years over some dumb personal shit. Had these experiences right before we reconnected.
First thing
>walking along this bridge towards my apartment one night
>feeling super lonely
>stop on bridge and look down at traffic below
>homeless man appears from nowhere and says, “Don’t do it, your mom will miss you, think about your mom”
>obviously I’m paraphrasing but he was acting like I was going to jump and kept bringing up my mom
>weirded out, I turn to walk off
>glance back as I go
>homeless man is gone (probably into an alley or something)

Second one
>grabbing coffee at coffee shop
>leaving
>someone grabs my arm and I look back
>it’s a black lady
>she says, “Oh, I thought you were my son for a second” (I’m white lol)
>she smiles and says, “Maybe you should call your mom”
>weird…

Third one, not as direct, but related
>moving into new apartment
>I write and draw, so I have boxes full of sketchbooks and notebooks
>unpacking some of these when a paper falls out of one of them
>it’s a drawing I did in 5th grade
>a drawing of me and my mom
>I literally thought I lost this drawing when I was in middle school, haven’t seen it since then
>decide maybe I should call my mom

Not sure why this last one is the thing that made me call her, but our relationship is way better now. I know these were all probably just coincidences but I wanted to share them anyway. I love my mom, and wish I hadn’t wasted so much time being mad at her.

No such thing as a coincidence anon. Good story
