It”s Gonna Be Okay

I know you have been wondering what’s going to happen to our world. I surely have. But I heard the television anchors saying, ” I miss you, Mom” and “Happy Mother’s Day, Mom” all weekend. Others have told us the word Mother is now Birthing person! There is a funny word for boy or girl, man or woman and many more. The people who made up the words don’t seem to know real Americans won’t change just because they say so. We will still have a Mother’s Day, Father’s day, Memorial Day, Easter and Christmas no matter what they say. So, don’t worry if some few will use those funny words, Americans will continue being Americans.

We will continue celebrating our holiday’s too. I certainly celebrated Mother’s Day! It started on Friday when my Daughter and Son- in- law’s car drove into our driveway. I had been wishing I could get outside and clean up the area around the pond. I love to sit out there under the trees, and the pond was now full of leaves. I knew I couldn’t do the work, ! but isn’t it funny when you are sitting comfortably in your chair, You think you could do anything! Anyhow they brought their shop Vacumn and went to work. Things started to look better already. They said they would be back Sunday with some more rocks for the pool. We had supper and watched the Blazer Basketball game together before they left to go home.

On Saturday morning, I woke up and wanted to look at my pond area through the window. I saw a guy out in the area and I got scared. “Someone is in my fenced area”, I thought. I went as quickly as I could to tell my son who lives with me. He was surprised too, so he went carefully out there and found that that “the guy” was his sister and my grand daughter. She was there to clean up the pond area. She surely did that, and then placed two buckets of flowers beside the pond. On Sunday my son made me a special breakfast and gave me a crazy, but wonderful card and told me my gift was out by the pond. It was a bird feeder! and a nice one at that. And my other son, who lives in New Mexico called and said a gift will be coming soon. I’m proud of my kids and don’t think of myself as a Birthing Person!

They were all here on Sunday, including one of the grandchildren. We all enjoyed the pond area together. I’ve never had a more enjoyable Mother’s Day.I know you mothers had a special Mother’s Day too which says it all. We are Americans and will honor our holidays and everyday as we wish, not as some people say we should. So, it’s gonna be okay!
