Please pray for me concerning my mother. I called her just this morning to ask about the trees. Even then, with something she considers an absolute necessity to be done, she acted like I bother her too much. Since I am affected this time at least just as much as she is, I have to deal with this too, this could very well turn into a full-blown argument between us, as usual in time. If the tables were turned, she would only offer me half of the money at best, if that, and probably not even one single cent, saying "it's your responsbility, and yours alone," even though she'd be living in the flood plain instead of me, and both of us would still be affected like we are this time as well. In fact, she's probably thinking that the only reason I offered to pay her full cost, is "because he doesn't want to live with me, his mother." Well, no wonder. There is a valid reason for that. Yet she calls me the selfish one. That's how she thinks, and has my entire 55 years on Planet Earth. It's sad when you cannot call your own mother to even ask her about something that is probably more necessary for her than it is to me. Believe me, if the tables were turned, she'd be demanding they be cut yesterday, probably only offering me a fraction of what I offered her, if that, even though it's been at least a solid month in her case, yet nothing. I even tried to give her the phone number of a local tree company today, and she told me she didn't want it right now. That's the way she's always been, too. It's sad. It really is.
