Empathy to all. In this case, a particular Mother.



This post is dedicated to a dear friend of mine; and to other mothers! (and / or fathers, for that tidmatter) I was up extra early this am; and I discovered that she had been up for a good part of the night - worrying about her son! Apparently, he went away for a mini vacation; to a hotel resort, with a casino down the road. Well, the plan was, to go out for a tid of dinner, a bit of casinoing; and then head back to his room after a couple of hours. Upon his return, he told her he would call her. That did not happen. My poor friend was quite literally sitting by the phone; most likely with drink in hand. Most unusual behaviour, she stated strongly. ie " this is just not like him". I can see her quite literally, shaking her head in disbelief and continually feeling "something was not right".

In my yesterday's post, I tidded about being a bit of a "late bloomer~" It is true; have always known that happy belated thought! LOL! Today, however, woke up at a blooming early hour; and presto, there was my distressed friend.

Tidbit - There are NO coincidences! "Something" enabled me to prop myself up, coffee in hand; and greet the computer in with the dawn! We "conversed" for about a half hour; then she heard from her son! Whew! Apparently, he had "stayed" at the casino. She will be seeing him on Saturday; so at that time, she will let him know how concerned she really was for his well being. Right now though, she is totally relieved! And, so am I! Whew! Her fears were / are not far fetched, given what is going on in the world, around us all.

Bittid - Call your Mothers; do not let them worry unneedlessly. Also, a further bitmatter- call your Dads; your loved ones; those, who love and care about your preservation. Mothers' Day is coming up, that just bittidded through my head.

And in today's experience, all we can say is "Thank God!"
