holding her breath

if i ever went on a mission my mom would be holding her breath the whole time. although, if my mission was state side she'd be holding her breath a little less. and if it was in California (mainly the long beach area) or New York city she'd be holding her breath even less. i know why since she's my mom. the reason she'd hold her breath less in California or New York is because of family ties. my mom's family is FROM California and has ties there and my uncle (my dad's brother) lives in New York.
