Who: Ma Guthrie, and the Guthrie Clan!
When: Tuesday morning, 8:30am
Where: Front door.
What: Ma arrives!
There are people in life who become their role. For instance, Charles Xavier is known as "The Professor" to a lot of his students. Whoever was elected as President of the United States, became "Mister President." Doctors are always called Doctors, and Judges are Judges... Priests become "Father"... and Ma Guthrie was Ma Guthrie. She'd been responding to "Mom," "Mommy," "Mama," and "Ma" for so long that sometimes she forgot she even had a first name.
Three of her babies were at Xavier's school, and she dutifully travelled up to New York to visit with them and meet their teachers. It was exciting for her, as this was the first year that Jay, Paige and Sam were all at the school together. The previous year she was up to visit Paige and Sam, and the year before Sam alone. It was a little difficult to find care for the rest of her children back at home, but somehow she managed. And she had a couple of days to visit with her loved ones at the school.
Xavier was kind enough to offer her a room so she could stay overnight at the school. She took a taxi from the airport, and lugged her bags up the front drive, gazing up at the school with some awe. It'd changed a bit since the last time she was here. She hoisted her luggage up the front steps, and rang the doorbell. She hoped that her children would remember she was arriving this morning, and that one of them would be there to meet her.
