Still Thankful, Even Now

I know people argue about America all the time now. In my family too, believe me. We have had loud dinners, quiet car rides home, and a few holidays where somebody had to change the subject.

But my mother always said you can love this country and still worry about where it is going. She kept a Bible by her bed, voted every election, and cried when the flag was folded at my uncle’s funeral. She was not fancy or political in a big way. She just believed America was worth caring about.

I placed this hex for her, becuase she taught us that gratitude and concern can live in the same heart.
