I heard someone say the old Yiddish proverb today, “we plan, God laughs.” I chuckled because this is a truth we can all relate to. I am a planner, an organizer and one that likes to see a five-year life plan set in stone. Well, things don’t always turn out as easily as that. I didn’t expect to have a diabetic son (neither did he) and that changed the course of our lives in more ways than one. I remember thinking with great innocence in my younger years what I wanted to be when I grew up – I still don’t know what I want to be – oh wait – actually I am what I want to be – a mother. I think God is laughing now . . . watching me navigate through my somewhat rocky terrain of a life.
