No More Monkey


My mom hurt her leg the other day and my nephew Connor that we call monkey came to her aid with his tools! He walked in with his binky in his mouth and took out his hammer and went to “fix gamma”. We laughed and my mom suggested that he hit her head not the knee so she wouldn’t feel the pain. I look at my family and I think to myself how many times have I wanted to take out my hammer and “fix” their problems. I think to myself “If they would just do this or work on this they would be fine”. The thing about it is that they need that pain and I also need it. It’s a pain that makes me love deeper. I can talk to them and suggest all I want but when it comes down to it the best thing I can do is listen. Its sooo hard sometimes (especially because I love to talk) but sometimes listening to someone helps you understand what not only they need but you need also.
