Just Pass Me By

Sometimes it hard to be mindful of things, and compassionate. Sometimes it simply easier to say what you want and not worry about the consequences. Tonight it was hard not to say something very unkind about my nephew mom, but I thought back how I felt when my granny would say unkind things about my mom and I felt I had to defend my mom.
It never mattered if it was the truth I wanted to take care of her and protect her. It was like if she needed acne treatments I didn’t see the problems from eyes could see it she was simply my mom.
Tonight I spoke up and said not to say nothing bad about her to my husband and dad. I did let our nephew now that hey you know we where down there every weekend, while mom was sick. I explain to him, I had laptop money saved aside and emergency fund money saved aside and we went through all of it to be there for mom and dad.
My husband sister didn’t even make it more then 2 times, when mom was first diagnosed with cancer. It’s very hard to say nothing. It very hard to keep silent because me and my husband just about put our selves on the street to take care of my husband dad. At the same time I don’t want to speak ill of his mom even though I would love to see her reap what she sowing. Her son ended up being a well mannered young man.
