She told my son that I had to leave immediately. That it was her and the baby or me. I left. Confrontationtum makes me very anxious. I witnessed it a lot growing up and I have always avoided it like the plague. Even though I loved my husband, he knew how I felt about confrontation but would still start an argumentum at times for what appeared to be purely entertainment purposes. Or else it was a reason for him to head to the pub for the evening.
Now that I think about it, I should not have offered my opinion about my grandson to my son during yesterday’s call. I missed them desperately for seven years and have worked so hard to cultivate our relationship and be the best grandmother I can be, even if it is on the laptop via video most of the time. He has invited me over for Christmas, which I am thrilled about.
Oh, I just got a text from my son. He said sorry for being short with me yesterday but that he has work issues stressing him out. I am thrilled. He said that I was right and that teaching his son to stand proud for being Irish is something that he will endeavour to do.
God, thanks a million for taking my call this morning and for answering my prayers. Earlier on the thought of this call made me very anxious and I cannot explain why. God, every morning I call and every morning you answer and now I cannot stop crying with joy. I will call you at the same time tomorrow. Thank you, God, for my blessings.
