Hello Son,
It's Tuesday @ 15.50 pm.
Mom just grilled some chicken wings.
Half of the wings with paprika and the other half with turmeric.
Now waiting for her carnivore buns to be ready.
Her first time attempting 3-ingredient buns.
Let's see how it turns out later.
Something awesome happened this morning.
Yeah, really awesome!
So what happened was ...
Yesterday (Monday 12th), Teacher E was at our home.
We were just chatting casually.
Teacher E was updating mom about her family situation. Her 10 year old grandson, who fell in school a few weeks back and injured his neck, had surgery done with 23 screws apparently planted in his neck (apparently the first of such surgery done to a child) ... and is now bedridden.
Oh.
The oven bell rang.
Hang on a sec.
Let's go check on the buns.
 |
| Oh Wow! Mom impressed herself. Her first try. Very encouraging. |
 |
| It was easy to separate the buns. |
 |
| Add a slab of butter. |
 |
| Dad was all praise. |
 |
| Mom peeled her bun in half. The texture is soft. |
 |
| Tuck the butter in. |
 |
| Take a delicious bite. Omg. It's good. Unbelievable. So easy to make. |
Back to the story.
So Teacher E was telling Mom about her family situation.
Then, Teacher E said,
with emphasis,
"tomorrow is my birthday, October 13."
Oh.
Your mother responded.
"You should celebrate."
Teacher E said, no.
Not this year.
Teacher E said her grandson is sick and she is not in the mood to celebrate.
Mom could relate.
"Maybe next year..."
Teacher E said finally, a clear attempt to end the conversation on a positive note.
That was the end of our chat.
So this morning ...
Tuesday, October 13 ...
The TV was on.
There was a video that said ... something like ...
120k pilgrims in Fatima praying for the Pope.
Mom is aware that the Pope is going for surgery.
Your mother clicked on the video.
Mom was watching for a bit. Dad was drinking his coffee. We would be going to school when Dad is done with his coffee.
The video was then talking about the 3 children of Fatima and the apparition.
Suddenly, Mom heard the words :
"October 13"
and something about Mother Mary.
Pause.
Wait.
What?
OCTOBER 13???
Your mother reached out for the remote control to rewind back a bit.
Did you hear that?
O
M
G
Seriously?
On October 13, Our Lady will reveal herself and she will perform a MIRACLE so that people will believe.
Oh my goodness.
What are the chances of Mom hearing this message the day after her attention was brought to October 13.
Your mother has watched the 3 children of Fatima video several times but has never remember the dates.
No, not even October 13.
Now ... looks like she will always remember this October 13 for a very long time.
Possibly for the rest of her life.
Mom quickly forwarded the short video that she took, to Teacher E ... with the message :
May the miracle be yours ...
Happy birthday.
Pause to reflect.
It was a really awesome message to send out.
That message.
That Mother Mary will perform a MIRACLE on October 13 ...
TODAY.
It felt so good and Mom felt happy.
Like she could feel something wonderful is really gonna happen -- today.
We left the house.
On the way to school, Mom asked Dad to stop by the grocer. Mom wanted to get a banana cake and a tub of ice cream for Teacher E.
Of Mom went to get her items.
Meanwhile, Dad went to the cafe and ordered an iced latte.
Lol.
When Mom came to the cafe, after her purchase, she let out a big smile.
Her son is near, Mom knows.
In school, we could only find ...
 |
| 3 candles. |
 |
| Mom decorated the cake with some gummies and marshmallows that we have in the fridge. |
 |
| We had the cake with ice cream. It was quite the treat for the kids. Yummy! |
