Dear Tom,

My mom is a Capricorn, born in the middle of the holiday blitz – December 29th – and she has been listening to you for a long time.  We would tune in to your show every morning as I got ready for school and again in the car when she drove me to school.

I am pretty sure she listened to you while she was going to nursing school when she was right out of high school …and then I came along and she put it on hold for a while.

She worked as a Data Entry Processor and would take a night class here and there but, being a single mom, she would have to take time off from school to raise me and make sure I had everything I needed.

She had a blessing in disguise when she got laid off and decided to go back to nursing school.  It took 20 years, but she graduated and is now a registered nurse, which gives her plenty of free time to read, crochet and have texting parties with her friends as they watch empire. How to get away with murder, and scandal.

I am currently a sophomore studying computer science at the University of Alabama in Birmingham — just 3 hours away but I can’t wait to see her when I go home for winter break and her birthday.  Since we are always home for the holidays but, I asked her where she would like to go for her birthday…and her answer was Miami.
