Really?

OK I was with my mom today and when I got there my Aunt Cindy, Aunt Linda, Grand Pop, and Uncle Henry was there. That was really nice to see. Now here is the problem. After sitting there talking and enjoying the time with my mom, my Uncle asks my two Aunts if they could leave the room and have a private conversation with me.

Oh boy....So he begins to tell me how my mother prayed for me all the time at church. How she wanted me to be saved. That God Promised her I would be saved. Then tells me God won't be taking her until I am saved. The reason my mother is still here is because I'm not saved and she is going to be left here until I am. Really? I am sitting with my mom and he tells me my unsaved soul is the reason she can't pass on. I can't tell you how angry I was at him at that moment. I wanted to grab him by the neck and toss him out on his ass, but I didn't. Really? You wait til my mom is dying and try to save me? Really? Is that right? Did he think I was going to fall to my knees and pray for my salvation? Really? Did he expect me to change my mind about the path I have been walking for 20 years now? Really? Trying to use my mothers pending death and the salvation of her soul to convert me? Really? Is that what they teach in Christian Churches these days? Really?

I just looked at him and explained how that was many years ago and me and my mother both came to terms with our religious choices. She respected my choice a long time ago. I respect all religions and I respect my mother and that was the only reason I didn't go off on him. I also explained to him that if he really thought that then she would be here longer then him as I'm not converting. Its not my religious choice and I know my mothers God would not hold her in this body waisting away just to convert me. I can't believe someone who is christian would even think that God would hold back someones reward to try and convert another soul. If that is the case then I know I am on the right path for sure. I know my Gods would never do something like that and they wouldn't make a promise of someone being converted before you can return. So again I say Really? So not the way I expected my day to go today.

So other then that the day with my mother went well. I did get a text that Britt lost her mucus plug today, which means she can go into labor anytime now. I am so happy about that, especially if that is what my mother is really waiting for. Ryan's birthday is only 2 days away, but it close enough to be a really nice present for him.

Mom has been spiking a fever almost every night and her current pulse rate is 120, so we don't think her body can do that for much longer. I love her and just want her to move to a better place. I some what feel bad about that, but know in my heart it is for the best.

I guess that is it for now. Night all and blessings to everyone no matter what your religion is!

  3. Bunky my mom is 66 and has suffered through the last 20 years with a rare circulatory disease she recently has lost sight and hearing there is nothing wrong with letting them not suffer and be in a better place. My thoughts are with you and your family during this difficult time as for your uncle people do and say crazy things...
