It Finally Happened!!!

Me, My Grandma and Mom this Past Christmas Eve.

After years, Five to be exact, my Mother and Grandmother (her Mom) are finally taking the steps to make good and be a part of one another's lives again. Although I never agreed with the way things fell apart, I am extremely happy that my Mother decided to take responsibility for her actions and apologize to my Grandma for the way things were handled and her part of the ordeal.

They say actions speak louder than words, and while they still have a long way to go to "Normalcy" I was super impressed and happy that My Grandmother came to my Mom's 60th Birthday Party. This was only a small gesture, but its the best one she could have done to show that they are on their way to making amends.

I am sure they have along way to go, and hopefully for age and health sake on both of their ends, it won't be too long for things to be OK. In the meantime, I will still continue to encourage the pictures I would force them to take together or with me.. I know they wanted it just as much as I did, just too stubborn to admit it.. ( I know where I get it from).

Saturday night ended on a good note, My Mom had a great 60th birthday and I was happy for that. That night I prayed and then Thanked God that my Mom and Grandma are at least trying.

On an end note:

My Dad would always say, "Family is all you have". This is something he instilled in us and made sure my sister's and I knew this, so we would be there for one another when he was gone. It's something I will instill in my children or family as much as I can. It's the truth, a lot of times when friends aren't there to help, you have to rely on family to get you through the tough times. No matter how crazy things can be.
