" Equal "

Equal, and I don't mean the sugar subsitute. We are all suppose to be equal yet there are many who have a different view or opinion. Hense the word Blog. I get to write whatever is off the top of my head. So here it goes. We are all equal even if others think differently. It does not matter what size house you live in or how big your diamond is or what imported car you drive and so on. We all have human needs. Such as, love, food, clothes, work, friends and I hate to say it but a bathroom! Status is not something you get to take with you. There is nothing you can take with you when it's all said and done. You can will material things to pets or family but guess what it won't be able to go with you! Here's a story about my mom when we visited New York. My sister and her husband treated us to a trip to New York and our mom was so excited. When we arrived it was like another planet! I've never seen a place like L.A. x 20! The busiest and loudest state I have ever seen. I think I only seen grass in central park which was a little different. I like trees and water and nature but if concrete is nature than you should live in New York. Anyways, our mom was set on finding the perfect souvenier to bring home and she searched and searched. It was just a swearshirt that she searched for and you can only imagine how many New York sweartshirts there are. Every corner is a souvenier stand. Finally she finds the perfect sweatshirt that she's been searching for and we are all like whew, finally she found one she really likes. She was so happy to have it. So off we go. We turn the corner and there stands a women wearing a green trash bag. I could read my mom's mind and I think we all did and we were like nooooo, you just bought the sweatshirt you searched and searched for but sure enough our mom turned around and went to the women and literally put the sweatshirt on the women. As she walked back to us she said " we are all God's children". It still makes me cry to think of that moment. Here's a mom who gave up a huge part of her wants and dreams to give her all to her children and other people's children. She is a great role model I can only pray has rubbed off a little on me. In loving memory of our mom.
