LaPetiteSoeur Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 (edited) And why I love them. I just got a package from me mommy! In it, she put this card: "The days are full of thoughts and good wishes for you matey matey. me prayers are for your good health, success, and happiness. Be open [b]to all[/b] God's glory and plans for you matey matey. It just might surpurise you matey matey. I love you matey matey. --Mommy. Ahh!!!! And she sent me a book: "In Good Company" by James Martin, SJ! I just had to share! Edited to add: me mother does know how to use English properly. Actually, she's a kind of editor, darn fiddler!

Lisa Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Maybe you should just lay it all out in one frightening, scary big conversation. I don't know if that would help your situation, but that's what I would do. But then again, I'm a little rebellious at heart! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i<3LSOP Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 I love my mom a lot! She is really sweet and she home-schools me my brother and sister! She is really a saint! She doesn't have any clue thought that I know what God wants me to do with my life.. at such a young age! I know thought that God doesn't want me to say anything to my parents yet! Instead He wants me to talk to some Sister... who moved away! Lucky me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MargaretTeresa Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 I will eventually. But disappearing's more my thing. My mom doesn't deserve an explanation at this point, I will say that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i<3franciscans Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 (edited) My lovely mother, whom I adore, wouldn't understand my full story.... so she just knows that I have a vocation and she is happy. But sometimes I do want to..... So that she would understand better. Edited September 21, 2011 by i<3franciscans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feankie Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Oh, don't bang her on the head! I'm a mother 3 times over and a grandma 4 times. I can't actually say, looking back, at what I would have said and felt if one of my daughters wanted to be a nun. I would hope I would have been understanding and accepting - actually, I think it's a tremendous blessing to have a child in religious life. I can empathize with you, though, as my mother gave me a hard time when I "dropped the bomb" on her. My dad was absolutely fine with it, even a bit excited and definitely proud. But my mom....arggggh It was "try going to college first", then "try working at your chosen profession (doctor), then..... I met another resident, fell head over heels, and the rest, as they say, is history. But after all this time, and all this happiness, I still have an ache in my soul for what might have been. Don't be discouraged. You'll never know the feelings a mother has until you've been there )) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
