Matriarch

The Matriarch of the family is a bigger responsibility than what anyone really wants. That would be me now since the loss of the true matriarch 8 years ago.

Not really what I wanted. Not quite sure if anyone is prepared for that role in life. I really didn't want this role but here we are. I wish the true matriarch was still here. Who would offer more wisdom and guidance, along with the right words to say at the right moment.

Parents make mistakes, we are all human and sometimes we say or do the wrong things at the wrong time.

I did that today, saying the wrong thing at the wrong time. I'm sorry for that, I wish I could take it back or change the last hour of my morning. What a horrible way to start your day.

Sometimes even the Matriarch gets it wrong. She doesn't always get it right in life. I guess that's how we learn from our mistakes. At least I try, that's all we can do in life is try. Help me to get it right. Choosing the right words, with more wisdom and learning. The Matriarch learned that today.
