stephanies-present

When I got home today from work, after doubling my work load with the food drive, a beautiful centerpiece greeted me on my kitchen counter. It came from my beautiful, thoughtful, and loving daughter, Steffi. I wasn’t expecting anything from her except maybe a card, because she already gave me a pre-mother’s day present – which cost her an arm and a leg. And she hasn’t even started her job.

Last year, Steffi promised me that when she gets a job, she would pay for the removal of my amalgam fillings. I have about six of them lurking in my mouth. When she insisted that I have them removed, I didn’t take her seriously because several of my co-workers have them, too, and they don’t have any intentions of getting rid of them. Since then, I have been researching on the dangers of amalgam fillings on our body. What I found out was very alarming – rather disturbing. It says that these fillings continuously release mercury as a toxic vapor and as much as 80% of the vapor enters the body. Mercury is fat soluble and can enter every cell of the body and is particularly destructive to the brain. Is that the reason why my memory has deteriorated significantly over time? Scary! And I am far from being old.

Sorry, I got sidetracked.

Anyway, my other daughter, Lexi, is coming tomorrow after her work shift to spend mother’s day with me. How lucky could I get? We will probably head down to my friend’s ranch and have a barbecue party, and maybe, sit next to a fire in a pit with a bottle of beer. Oh no, I forgot I don’t drink. It should be a delightful moment.

I thank God to have been blessed with two beautiful, smart, and loving daughters.

And I got a home-made card from Steffi, too.
