Jen calmly wiped her mother's tears as she tried to calm her down while trying to keep her own composure.
"Mom, you shouldn't be crying. I'm getting married today," Jen said as she picked another tissue and handed it over to Diane. Diane also didn't think that she would end up becoming so emotional so suddenly and even though she was trying to stop herself from crying, the tears couldn't stop.
She was reminded of how her parents weren't there when she had gotten married and how she hadn't talked to them for more than 25 years. If Jen was unwilling to reconcile with her, would she have had to go through the same thing she did before? The realisation of what she had almost missed out on because of what she had done had shaken her to the core.
Jen was unaware of her mother's inner thoughts and was patiently trying to dry her tears before they slid down her cheeks and ruined her makeup.
