I Try to See the Best in Everyone

I loved this picture so much when I saw it on my friend Becky’s Facebook page. It reminded me of my cousin Ruthie. One time while we were visiting Oklahoma and staying at my Aunt Bee’s house (my Mom’s older sister) anyway, my cousin Ruthie had became attached to a one legged chicken and she named him George. She even wanted to sleep with the chicken, but I don’t think my Aunt Bee let her. I loved spending time with my cousins in Oklahoma and after I would get past my shyness I never wanted to leave. 🙂

This post really has nothing to do with chickens or my cousins or my Aunt. Like the picture depicts; I would like to say that I try to find the good in everyone, but on Tuesday at 1:30 am when we received a phone call from our Chacho Aaron that he had been mugged in front of his Brooklyn, NY apartment I couldn’t seem to find anything good in the man who did this to Joshua. I want to assure everyone Joshua is ok, although me being his Momma and him being a part of me I know that he is shook up. He didn’t say that but I feel his pain when he hurts and I feel his shook-upness even before he might feel it. 🙂 Please don’t get me wrong and think that I’m not grateful that the only thing that the mugger took was his phone and his headphones for his iPod. I am very thankful that the mugger didn’t hurt Joshua as I know the outcome could have been so much worse. I feel so sorry for Rian (pictured above with Joshua) who was talking to Joshua on the phone when the mugging occurred, she heard all the bad words and the struggling and then she heard nothing. I can imagine how frightened she must have been and then how relieved she was when Joshua messaged her on Facebook later to tell her that he was ok. It’s times like these that are the hardest for me to accept that I am so far away from Joshua and I am not able to just run down the street like I do with my daughter when she needs something. I’m so sorry; I just needed to get this off of my chest and to vent a little bit, thanks so much for reading and listening. I promise my next post will be more uplifting and all about my wonderful students from my Crochet 101 second session and of course some more crocheted hats. I love you all and hope the rest of your week goes well.
