30 Day Blogging Challenge PROMPT May 11th Look at a picture from your younger years. You don’t have to share the photo with us, but try to describe it in as much detail as possible. What led up to the photo being taken and what happened after? I remember a photo taken at my aunt and uncle's wedding back in 1972. I was five and I was the flower girl. The photo is of me and my Dad. We are outside of the Italian Canadian Club in Guelph and Dad is asking me if I am ready to go home. I have my finger in my mouth and my two front teeth are gone. My fine blond hair is pulled up and baby's breath has been worked in to the hairdo. My Dad is wearing a brown jacket. He is bent over giving me his full attention. I remember shaking my head, not wanting to go. I have no idea what happened after this photo, but my guess is I got my way and we went back in to the hall. Blog City - Day 2126 Prompt: “But mothers lie. It's in the job description,” says John Green. In your opinion, through which ways can mothers lie? I would love to know the context of this quote because it does not give me a warm feeling for this John Green guy. Still if mother's lie it is to protect their children, to protect their hearts and minds from the outside world. Or in the case of Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny, it is to bring joy to the season. Mother's also tell you you are amazing and beautiful even when you are a punk ass kid with a zit filled face. They carry your self esteem when your peer group is cruel. They believe in you when you are just learning something new. They bolster your confidence when mistakes and setbacks happen. They are your cheer squad. I know I have been blessed to have a mother and a Grandmother like this, but not all children have this same luxury. Some don't have a mother's love to cocoon them through the rocky patches and some even have mothers who make the world come in far too soon. For those children, they always seem to be struggling in an uphill battle. A mother's love and protection are sustaining... necessary for future growth and prosperity. (And so is a father's love and protection). |
