Sew Handmade

Today is 1 week of total knee replacement. It has been rough to say the least. I think I'll wait till June of next year for the left one to be done.

I came across this, and it's absolutely well said. Again having the ability to put your life/thoughts/feelings down on paper is awesome. The following letter, I bet 8 out of 10 can relate to this. It also points out that Mothers are not appropriate enough for what they do for their families. Mothers have the most responsibilities in a family.
After you read the "Letter"
Below, Mothers or Single Dads please comment your thoughts about the meaning of the letter.

"Husband said to his wife – I am going out with my friends. She replied – Ok.
After a while, son said – Mother, i got my results for mock exams and it’s not good. Son expected to get a scolding from his mother but to his surprise, his mother calmly said – Ok. If you work hard you will be able to do good and if not you have to repeat semester. It’s up to you.
Next day, her daughter came to her and hesitatingly said – Mother, I smashed car. Daughter was scared that mother would get angry but to her surprise, she said – Ok. take it to car shop and get it fixed.
Person was usually irritated and grumpy, was now suddenly changed. Seeing such reactions, everyone got worried and thought if something was wrong. Everyone came to her and asked, “Is something wrong? Why are you acting so calm?” She smiled and replied, “It took me a long time to realize that, each person is responsible for their own life.
I realized that my anguish, worrying, anxiety, stress… doesn’t solve your problems but aggravates mine. I realized that i can only give you advice if you ask but it depends on you to follow or not. Whatever decision you take, its consequences good or bad, you will have to live with them. I am not responsible for actions of anyone. I realized that i can only control myself. My job is to care for you, love you, encourage you but after that it all depends on you to solve you problems and find your own happiness.
Therefore, I should remain calm and let each of you solve your problems yourself.” Everyone at home was speechless. From that day on, the family began to function better because everyone in the house knew exactly what it is that they needed to do!"

Mother's Day dinner for today. Thanks George for spoiling me. I love you very much.

Sitting on the front porch with Briar,Brynleigh, Gno. It's beautiful outside.

Sickness 🤒 has hit George and I. George had it last week. He was miserable! I started feeling bad yesterday. I've lost my voice from coughing.

Omg! These knee injection are so painful 😢! 2 down 1 more left to get. I just hope that these injection help, if not I will have to have a knee replacement 😫.

I'm about to throw my embroidery machine out the window. It's just not a good day in the Embroidery room! I'm going to try and sew, hopefully it will be more productive.

I'm so so proud of Brynleigh and her parents. Brynleigh had a really hard time starting school last year but no fault of hers. The school let her and her parents down. A year later has been so much better so far. She has a teachers aid for help while at school. You see my sweet granddaughter is considered legally blind. But let me tell you, she doesn't let that stop her. She started school yesterday, her mom and dad took her and she didn't cry , this morning she got on the bus without crying and most of all her mommy didn't cry. I'm so proud of you Kelby and Cody!
