(UN)GRATEFUL MAMA
The past few days have been cold and grey, and I'm not just referring to outside. I know that everyone's family is somewhat dysfunctional, but mine brings a whole new meaning to the word! You can choose your friends, but you don't have a choice when it comes to family. Hurtful words were said that can't be taken back. It's funny how when you're really young, your parents can do no wrong in your eyes and they have the answers to everything. Then, we grow up and sometimes our theories on life don't measure up at all. What may be so important to one person might matter little to the next. Sometimes we are so caught up in ourselves, we forget that other people in our lives need us as well. Some people are so concerned with their own personal gain and search for happiness that they completely discount everyone else's. Sometimes we are sick of reaching out only to be hurt and disappointed time and time again. I know that it's not the cost of a gift, but the thought behind it that matters most. Try explaining that to a small child though! I want my son to have a special bond with his grandparents that comes from spending time and doing fun things together. That doesn't cost a dime! Material goods cannot possibly act as reparations for someones absence, but they would be better than nothing at all...
If that makes me ungrateful, I guess that's what I am!

People who have to justify their pathetic actions with absurd excuses are really trying to convice themselves that they are worth something and they matter ...when they really are worth nothing! Don't let those people drag you down to their level. In the end they will have NO ONE and your life will be rich with people and not material things. It is a shame though that some people do not care enough to make the effort to get to know the little bean, he is such a joy! Don't fret he gets pleanty of lovin from the rest of us and will not miss out on anything. :)
