Mothers and Caregivers

 

How many mothers are still awake at 2AM? Are you worried? Are you in fear? Does your brain keep on super charge and can't go to sleep?  Welcome to the new world. My dad worried all the time about this very thing that is going on in the world now back in 2000 just before he died. He shared with me or raised me to be prepared for this day. He raised me like most boys were taught at that time. I never understood why for some reason that I was afraid or mad at times. I loved and still love my dad. I wanted to be more of a quiet easy going person like my mother and my grandmothers. Mother always would say don't think about trouble until it was right there looking you in the eyes. She was so positive. Dad was positive and negative but he was in World War 2. People in that war were hurt emotionally and physically. They didn't talk about it but just moved on. They had a different view of the world and it's secrets. I guess most all of them do. Now we are in a war with the mothers and caregivers of the world trying to figure out what to do. Social media gives us the good and the bad so we have to sift through it like we do the landry. We try and figure out what to trust. Mothers that are up on everything try to search out the best for their family. Now the grand, greatgrand mothers and caregivers are always on alert to make sure they are on top of things. So where are we now. The big five letter word. TRUST. Who do we trust? What do we do if we trust something and it is all wrong? Then the three letter word comes into play. TRY SOMETHING ELSE. If that doesn't work then keep on trying the best thing for your family or one you are caring for. I guess this seems like I'm rambling but as a mother you want the best for your children. Some days, I feel like screaming and running away. Hello people there is no where to run. All that I can tell you is do your research from both sides and the middle. Survival is what is best for your family and person you are caring for. I have probably told you as a young child that we lived in India. It was an eye opener from the way we lived back home and there. Dad was there working and we came with him to live. Then a war broke out. I remember blackouts after sundown for our safety. I remember the planes going over trying to locate places to blow up. That is what I thought cause of being a child. I'm sure there is some truth to that. See this isn't my first rodeo of these type of events taking place in my life. I'm finally dealing with the planes flying over in our area a lot both day and night. These are my golden years, I'vebeen told. No these are my years to teach my family to take care of things your family may need and not want so much. America has wanted and gotten so much that is not important for years and still doing so. Now most of us are struggling in a land that people wanted to be here years ago. That is the reason for the most that other people from other countries want to come here. There are others that have other reasons but it's always been like that  People in this country need to wake up. For the meantime most of us are trying to do what is best for our families and give the little ones as much peace as possible. Mothers and caregivers be strong and safe. Most of all Pray without ceasing.
