I picked this particular song, because it was in the Honda CRV Made for All of Life’s Adventures/Austin City Limits commercial. That is my Mother’s vehicle, and it reminded me of her, and things I like (music festivals). Also the mother and mother to be, were a look into something I want (family).

What I Learned Sundays – Mother’s Day Free Write – Happy Mother’s Day

In the end, this truly touches on today, Mother’s Day. Last night I had that strange “getting old” moment, or maybe the maturation thought moment. It’s very different then the moment you plan out your life, get married, plan for children, success, the house and car, etc., etc., etc.

I sat watching the end of a film that was locally filmed and the culmination was of a wedding anniversary, and a happy doting couple. The cynic may say, this is something that’s not rooted in reality, I can even look within things I’ve seen with friends and associates and could easily be that same cynic, but rather than that, I saw myself. Strange as it may seem, I saw a time, in the not too distant future, but not that soon either.

Sitting at a table near the rear of the vineyard, they sat together. No longer in their crazy thirties, but in that age of happy medium where more of their dreams had been realized, shared, accommodated, and even experienced and past. If you asked them whether this day would come in their youth, or “second youth,” the answer would likely be ‘no,’ however, today they sat, wrapped within each other. They sat sharing an old world connection that many today chose to forsake. The sparkle in their eyes glistened as their daughter struggled to sit still. The best man, at their wedding long ago, jokingly recounted his past life with a jovial but respectful speech that brought laughter and fond memories. Soon after, her Matron of honor from that time did the same.

Blue Lines Blog: Give Father’s their Father’s Day

At first I thought to write my “What I Learned Sundays,” Blog Post about the phases of Father-hood that I’ve known. Whether it be my Father’s process, that of my late Cuban Grand Father, or even thoughts on my brother and his first Father’s Day. But then after reading one of many posts that happened to be followed by a discussion, I had to change my focus.

I am guilty of this too, and I actually had second thoughts prior to making my initial post on facebook, but I was overly surprised about how when someone mentions “Father’s Day,” the common comment and/or statement is “for all the Father’s that are doing there job, and the Mother’s who are being ‘Father’s’ for their children. As someone pained that at 35, I am not a Father, it is sad that Mother’s Day is allowed to be a day of celebration, however Father’s Day is always served with an asterisk, for those who are being Father’s. There are even “Father’s Day” cards for Mothers. I love Mother’s, and I celebrate Mother’s Day in earnest, however while allowed to be supported by most schools systems still being in session, and a super Hallmark Holiday, Father’s Day falls in June, with no promotion and served with giving ties, or some non-essential gift.

Blue Lines, Key Yemaya Walker, Mother's Day, What I Learned Sundays

Happy Mother’s Day
Quick, it’s Mother’s Day, and my Mom’s day.
I’m very lucky, and have my mother. I can tell how much she loves me by how she looks at me, and our real conversations as of late.
I hate not knowing, and not having control of things (this applies to much more than I can say, and much that people may think they know, but don’t really)
Bits and pieces of happiness, are not that substantial in the end.
I love communication, it is key.
You have choices: stick to the choice you made fully; amend your choice, but stick to the nature of said choice; go back to the old, but don’t be surprised by the same results.
Talking things out, may help a situation, however it also calls it into being.
Sometimes wholesale changes are needed.
Thanks for friends.
Read.
Talk.
Smile.
Write.

Happy Mother’s day. This is where I got the nickname I started calling my Mother a while back in High School, “Da Mama.” Years later, that’s still her nickname, and even adults have started to call her that by mistake. We used to watch this show all of the time, until it was cancelled.
