Mom Changed Her Mind!

Friday afternoon hubby and I went to see my parents in hopes to spend some time with them and give mom someone to talk to and of course do a few things around the house for them. We really had a good time just talking and she still didn't want to decorate for Christmas but my aunt and I did talk her into putting the manger scene out because, after all, it is Christ's birthday. Hubby and I got it out and set it up on her TV entertainment center and then mom said, gee maybe a tree would brighten my spirits a bit. THAT DID IT!! lol Hubby and I jumped on the band wagon and ran with it!! lol We got her tree out of the shed and put it together and hubby put the lights on. By the time he was finished, it was getting a wee bit late so we stopped there and went home. We went back again today to decorate their tree and on the way we bought some household items for them that they may need because money is so darn tight right now. We decorated their tree and then got some other decorating things out and put them all up. Mom is just beaming with pride! She's so happy to have her things out for Christmas that she just beams!! Then mom mentioned getting some pizza so hubby went and got a pizza from a resturant down the road and we had dinner together. We had a great time together just enjoying everything and each other. I did tell them about my nephew, their grandson and dad was a bit teed off about it and said that if my brother says anything to him about it he'll put him in his place because I do have every right to say something to his no count son about not paying mom and dad the back rent that my nephew owes! Dad said he'll take the little sob to court if he has to!! I know he will but I sure hope it doesn't come to that but dang it, my nephew has gotten away with so much lately that it has to be known that it's come to an end. He owes so much money to his dad and now granddad as well as creditors left and right but you know what? It's his OWN undoing!! Not ours. He's going to have to learn a hard hard lesson for his wrong doings eventually and eventually is now. The point is, I didn't keep it a secret for why should I? I mean, I didn't have to tell my parents about the text messages or phone call but I thought they have every right to know so I told them. After that, the subject was changed and we had a great time together tonight!! Yippee!! Another note, mom is doing sooooo much better!! She still has some pain from her broken sternum but nothing like she was before!! She's walking so much better and more stable than she's been since April when she had the awful stroke!! She's really come a long long way!! The only thing bothering her at the moment is that her whole right side is numb and her hands stay cold. She's going to be seeing a new neurologist in January so hopefully he/she will be able to help her. We can only hope!! Please continue to pray for my parents because they ARE being heard!!
