Input: Text: as an introvert i’ve actually fucked up more than i care to count and not necessarily today as you will soon read.

a bit of background: i’ve always ignored calls letting them go to voicemail, sometime not even listening to them and simply forgetting about it, even text messages sometimes. i’ve shut myself from the outside world and have ignored close friends and have stopped partaking in social events. i hate meeting new people and usually don’t speak with anyone until i get to know a person. i can’t remember how or when i became this bad.

about two and a half years ago my mother and i had a falling out and we haven’t really spoken since. she was divorced, alone living with her dogs and only had maybe two or three friends but mainly depended on my closest friends to get close to me and just needed someone to talk to that would listen or even help around the house.
 
days turned to months, i was served with papers… i was being sued by my mother. that was her way of getting my attention and she proceeded by harassing me at my work somehow getting through to the internal operator thus reaching my desk phone. given my position at the time i was not an easy person to get a hold of unless you had my supervisor’s number or my direct numbers. my mother had none of these but she somehow managed. it was embarrassing and could have cost me my job.

fast forward and you have me who never answered their phone, deleted their facebook account, moved to another state for a better paying job, moved back when it didn’t work out all while ignoring anyone or anything that had contact with my mother. i wanted to be detached from her as much as possible but that cost me the chance to say goodbye to her.

she passed away august 31, 2015, her lawyer called me september 4, that friday, left me a voicemail to which i ignored because i didn’t recognize the number and several phone calls from my ex whom also had a different number. another friend of mine got a hold of me this past wednesday telling me my ex had reached out to them giving them the news.

my phone logs revealed that my ex had tried to get a hold of me several time and my mother tried to contact me long before her passing. her lawyer had a letter for me from my mother that read:

    5/30/2015
    hey joe, i just wanted to say some things to you. i wanted to say them to your face. i call and call and you never answer your phone. well, if you’re reading this, that means i’m dead. first i’d like to say how much i love and miss you. i wish you a good and happy life. i would have preferred to say this to your face, however i didn’t have that chance. buy by be good.

    love always your mom.
    her signature

her birthday was 5/30/1957

 

edit: she passed away one week ago monday

edit #2: thank you everyone for all your support. i still have many questions i need answered and i feel it's a bit cliché like you see in the movies when it come to her will. i'm her only child and sole benefactor but i was told by my ex that the will would be revealed three days after her burial. i'm not sure if this is standard operating procedure. i'm completely inept when it comes to these sort of things. 

my mom's lawyer did not give me much to go on other than her letter and an invoice showing how the funeral costs were spent. my mom had already made sure this portion was taken care off. but i have no idea what is to happen to her home, car and belongings.
