Karma..... it is a true pain in the tail. But when it comes around in your favor it is one of the sweetest things.
A trip back to memory lane for a nice back story. I have a nephew, by far the best one in the galaxy. He saved my life when he was 2 years old. See I had entered the darkest time of my life a few years back and it was only getting darker and darker. Then, one day I was able to see my 2 year old nephew. I did not get to see him much at the time so this was a special thing. As I pull into the parking lot and step out of my car, my nephew rips from my mothers hand and runs across the lot to hug me. I have never had a hug so tight before in my life. At that very instant, all of the love in the world went through my nephew and into me. It is a moment I will never forget. So to say my nephew is important to me is a major understatement. Now, lets fast forward to last spring.
I was due to deploy with the military. I had fought to have a chance to see my nephew again in the days before I left. In a way I had won this fight because my nephew was close by, but in the end I truly lost because he was kept from me covered up by lies and hate. See, in those final days my mother already knew that they would meet up with my nephew. The day this happened I went to see my mother in the morning, and the evening. this easily equaled half the day. During the time I was not around, my mother went to see my nephew without me. I was lied to about a few things that day. First was that my nephew was not around and nobody was to see him. I was told that the reason behind this was that my sister did not want her son around me, and that he was not allowed to be around my then girlfriend and her children. So the blame for me not seeing my nephew was passed along to my sister and not my mother. Even that evening I was told that nobody had seen my nephew. I found out months later while deployed that my sister was not the one to keep him from me this time. she had said nothing about not wanting my nephew around me, or my girlfriend and her kids. That was a flat out lie. The way I found out that my mother did see my nephew, and keep him from me, was in a letter. A cowards way out. See, my mother placed a letter in my bag the day I left and told me right as I was getting on the plane that she had done so. So when I read it, she explained that they had seen my nephew and I had not. My mother responds to this by saying it was my fault. She says that she asked me to come alone with her to go do "something" all day. I did not want to leave my girlfriend and her kids alone all day with a non reliable car trapped in a small dorm room all day long. It was just not right. So I told my mother that she needs to drop her grudge and we will all go do something together. Because I said that my mother places all the blame on me. My mother kept my nephew from me the day before I deployed and it has bothered me ever since.... until this week.
Last December my then fiance was able to work a deal that let me see my nephew for a short hour while driving to Disney. It was a great thing for me. And now here I am living a great life in Florida, and I have had my nephew in my home the last few days and I get him a few more days to come. It is a true blessing. In this story, Karma was for sure in my favor. My mother kept him from me for one day, and I in turn get him for a whole week.
I learn more and more all the time about thing from my past involving my mother and the things she does, says, did and said. It absolutely blows my mind that a mother would say and do the things she did. Now me and my wife are the topic of her angry rants on social media and all I can do is sit back and laugh because everything that is used against us, is truly a reflection in her mirror. I know that Karma is not done yet as there are things in the works now and things that have almost completed. It is a good feeling to know I am on that upside of it.
Karma is a bitch mom. You succeeded in keeping him from me then, but you have lost all control now.
