A Different World

3/11/14 7:15 AM: M: (Posts a Video)

3/11/14 7:16 AM: C: This is cute :). Who is this little girl?

3/11/14 7:17 AM: M: Don't know... Just a forward 😄

3/11/14 7:19 AM: C: Oh okay. I thought someone you know. Very cute.

3/11/14 9:57 AM: S: Too funny!! We are now on March Break and Hans (my 5 year old) has a play date with his classmate today! She (obviously) is a girl and apparently she adores Hans :) So, the video does capture reality very cutely! Thanks for sharing.

3/11/14 10:05 AM: M: But I would be actually thankful if my daughter has a boyfriend... Imagine a 'girlfriend' 😱 that kind

3/11/14 10:10 AM: S: Interesting M that you brought "that" up :) I tell my 12 year old, ASid, that when he is ready to date I am OK with any religion or race and I am also OK if it's a boy...the response almost always is an indignant "MOM!!" :)

3/11/14 10:13 AM: C: LOL. You are classic S :)

3/11/14 10:18 AM: S: Morning C! It is a different world our kids are growing up in! We have to be prepared for anything and everything, and support them through it! I am so glad you got a laugh out of it :)

3/11/14 10:22 AM: C: I am with you on it. I will be honest though, I get the jitters when Vi wants  Nokhi's hair bands to play :)

3/11/14 10:24 AM: M: I can't be that 'fair' about it... I am ok for my kids to marry anyone or date anyone... I am sure It will be very difficult for me to digest the fact if they turn out to be gay... But in the end will accept that too  because they are my kids,.. But won't be able to say it's ok by me from now on

3/11/14 10:29 AM: S: Cool M! I love your honesty and respect your feelings. Yeah, I am the typical worrier and over thinker :) I know what you are saying...

3/11/14 10:38 AM: S: C, you got me laughing :) Perhaps, you are over thinking as well?!

3/11/14 10:39 AM: C: Yeah, I do over think. At the end of the day, their happiness is what counts. I just want them to be happy

3/11/14 10:39 AM: M: C was always the over thinker 😆and the worrier ... She used to worry enough for me too. 😜

3/11/14 10:40 AM: C: LOL :). I am not as bad these days.

3/11/14 10:41 AM: M: 👏 good finally your kids helped you with that I guess 😄

3/11/14 10:41 AM: C: I am learning not to sweat the small stuff.

3/11/14 10:41 AM: C: Yeah, they did. I have 3 kids by the way. The oldest taught me the most.

3/11/14 10:41 AM: M: VJ has to learn that ... He is always hyper and I am like least bothered ... Total extremes 😣

3/11/14 10:42 AM: M: Ha ha ha

3/11/14 10:43 AM: C: And Bob is the just the opposite. Every thing is a walk in the park. I guess I need that to balance.

3/11/14 10:44 AM: C: He does drive me crazy though.

3/11/14 10:44 AM: C: I guess I worry enough for the both of us.

3/11/14 10:45 AM: M: The same way as I drive VJ crazy 😆 I guess this what they mean when they say ... Marriages are made in heaven 😁

3/11/14 10:46 AM: C: Yeah, and I am the devil.

3/11/14 10:47 AM: M: Sweet one though 😘

3/11/14 10:47 AM: C: With the halo on my head :)

3/11/14 10:48 AM: C: Ok. Will chat later. Have a meeting coming up soon. Bye!

Reflections: It is a different reality we live in today. Our physical world has gotten smaller than before; however, we have identified more differences than ever before. There are questions that can’t be answered; we look towards science for some explanation or we seek comfort in the never changing religions. Some of us lose our direction when we look for answers…and then we find the people who set us back on track. When we find these people and we want them to be happy, then answers don’t matter and all the differences disappear.
