Best Gift...
Am thinking these past days...just that, I could not think what must be the BEST GIFT for a son, who worked hard in school, to compensate the hardship of his Mom.
My son will graduate in senior high, and got high honours. Passed the scholarship exam, which means, deminished burdens of tution fees, and will receive financial support from department of higher education for his allowances. Happiest , proud mom and GRATEFUL. A gift is never asked, so I could not asked him, as it's supposedly a surprise..
But if I would ask...he might say...I want my Dad...lol..

A Tribute to my Mom ~ on my birthday
It was against the odds.
She was 46 and already had 4 adult children and 1 still at home. A new relationship, after a scandalous affair had ripped her first marriage to shreds, brought her love she had thought she'd never have again.
I was a surprise that relatives told her, in polite terms, would not be "normal" and that should be "terminated".
What was she thinking? Women her age are usually starting to enjoy being grandparents, which she already was....
My dad was on the road far away as a long distance truck driver. He would arrive the next day. The pictures showed his exhilarating joy - a baby girl!
My birthday, close on the heels of Valentine's Day, would come to exemplify how Love can be found deep inside each of us.
My mom had made mistakes in raising her first brood. She was more diligent about her next set. She saw the importance of passing on to the next generation the knowledge and skills she possessed.
Life is one constant lesson.
She was ever learning, too. We taught her how to ride a bike when she was in her 50's - not an easy feat on bumpy gravel roads! But she always compared it to riding a horse - even when she fell down!
She could understand animals and what they were thinking. I would laugh at the stories of horses thinking that huge rocks were bears and cats competing over mice in a barn.
Her eyesight had diminished before I was even born. Colors and shapes gradually almost completely faded. Yet, when she braved the transatlantic flight to come see me, she commented about how friendly and smiley the locals were when we walked to the market.
It was because she radiated Love wherever she was.
She didn't let her handicap prevent her from experiencing Life to its fullest.
And when my own world fell apart and I tried to hide it from her, she called crying and simply said, "My daughter, you are Loved."
On this day, the day I was born, I remember my mom and all the wonderful gifts she gave me.
My Life is a Tribute to her greatness.
Thank you, Mom!

Proud mum
I don't normally write about my personal life but today was my daughters graduation and I'm feel so proud about her I want to shout it out to the world. My little devil is growing so quickly. She will now be studying aboard and I will miss her but mums always do what is best for their kids..
online today!
Confucius, ancient Chinese thinker....
.... and his plugs for respect for our elders/ancestors..
I began to like this guy, when I read that he used his leather bound I Ching so much, that he had to replace it several times.
Culturally time period stipulated advice, sure enough. But doubt he would turn his parents in to the authorities on the basis of politics, or anything else. But who really knows?

All that glitters is not gold
My name is grace am proud woman of color lol ?? sorry I have to point out that!! being brought up by a single mother who sacrificed her happiness for the betterment of us her children ?? we’re are born 4kids and am the first born .this gave ma so much questions y and how did my father just easily forget us and throw us behind him like we never existed This has affected my dating life so much that I have o trust every time I want to be serious then trust issues kicks in please if anyone has gone through the same experience with me help me on how to overcome this it’s really eating me up
The Goodbye is Coming
I am often reminding myself how lucky I have been to still have my parents as I approach my 70th year. Lord I don't feel 70. It's getting harder to focus on how lucky I am as I watch Dad's disease kill him oh so slowly. It's no fun either to watch my Mother fade away in grief. Hospice was called yesterday, this will be my first experience with "End of Life" care which I actually suck at.
I actually did not live with my parents for much of my childhood so I'm not affected as harshly as my baby sister & brother. The two babies grew all the way up with Mom and Dad, so the loss is killing them much harder. I'm more ready to let go because I would not want to be alive in his condition. I could call a Mercy Death if it were up to me but most of my family members wouldn't understand. They want to keep the body alive no matter what. I have no problem honoring their wishes and not saying how I feel.
I have a DNR on myself so I shouldn't ever get to the place of where Dad is and hopefully I can avoid my children seeing me in AS sad a condition as I see my Daddy in. All recognition is gone from his eyes.
Two sides to the same coin, one is the bright side and the other dark. Mostly the coin lands on the bright side but sometimes it doesn't.
I don't need condolences as I am not grieving but feel free to share your experience if you had one with Hospice?

BIG letter "L" for Lotto?
2 won ...1.8 billion plus..
I never tried to play lotto as I just believe, my luck is from my own sweats..but today, a colleague of mine called a family to play for me..
My Dad and my husband came to my dream last night , which they never appeared since they left. My husband still looked super dooper handsome, huggable,kissable, and my dad as well.
That was weird, but I felt so secured with these two men I loved so much.
My dad was telling me, you have been tested, I have that letter "L" for you.
I felt at peace, secure,and unbelievable feeling of knowing, don't worry about...and..and..and..and.
The right time is coming.
The two of them looked at me, and my dad told me, "you are a strong woman,despite the hardships and sufferings ,you could still smile and tell the world you're OK." I am so proud of you .
Then my husband spoke,with his loving eyes and awesome smile...said "It's time for you to move on"
I was waiting for the "L" all about, just when my alarm clock rang .
I woke up and it was clear as the still water in the ocean.
Wow! Am I going to die today? Did GOD did not grant me that 60 years of life I've been wishing?
"It's time for me to move on?"
I just noticed tears coming out from my eyes. I missed these two men I loved most in my life .
Anyhow , am pondering what L word was all about ..
I shared to my colleague about my dream at work today. Asking what L all about???one said Love..other said LOTTO. So she made the combination of numbers from the b days of these two men, when they died their age etc..and called her family back home to play those numbers for me.
So far 3 numbers came out..40 the age of my husband when he died, 1 his birthday month January, and 45, I did not know how she came out with those numbers.
Anyway , Lotto is not what letter L means ..
I tried to figure out those I get connected with, that the name starts with letter L.
He must be the love of my life???
Any clues about Letter L???kindly drop a comment please..
