  • NEM TODOS PODEM SER DOUTORES

    “What I’m about to post may shock a lot of people, but it needs to be said. Maybe not everyone needs to go to college… I work with college students. As a campus minister, it is my job. But, I would be lying if I said that every kid I work with who is dropping $25,000 or more each year, is doing a wise thing. For what? Most will come out of school owing so much money, that it will take them 20 years to pay back. Meanwhile, the kid who went to work with a plumber to learn a skill, is making a great living—debt free! See that pipe in the picture? A kid worked 7 hours putting that in my yard, a couple weeks ago. He left with $2,000 in his pocket. So, I wonder who really has things figured out: The kid coming out of college owing more than a house, or the kid who just paid cash for a house by the time he was 25. Here is my point… Not every person has to go to college. Skilled labor is nothing to be ashamed of—in fact, if you are willing to get a little dirty, many ‘blue collared’ jobs pay really well; and they are careers worthy of respect. So, even though I work with college students and want to see as many there as possible, college is not the ‘be all, end all’ that everyone says it is. If nothing else, at least be willing to have an open and honest discussion with your child—and recognize that maybe there are other options; good options, worth considering… Options that won’t put a family in serious debt!”

    My daughter wants to put me in a nursing home and take my money, but I have refused – I give her everything in life, NOW I GAVE HER THE BIGGEST LESSON EVER
    Dear friends, let me tell you about my daughter who has seemingly lost her mind. She thinks just because I’m 90, I should be shipped off to some nursing home like an old piece of furniture. I have my own home; I still got plenty of life left in me.
    So, I told her straight up, “If you don’t want to take care of me, I’ll take care of myself. I’ve got my savings, and I’ll use them to hire a caregiver and stay right here in my own house.”
    Well, that made her madder than a wet cat! Turns out she was banking on getting her hands on my money. Now she’s throwing a fit because her little plan ain’t gonna work.
    It has been more than a month that she hasn’t visited or called. And she made sure to tell me to not bother her until I am ready to take my a** to a nursing home
    Imagine being 90 and having just one daughter. These days I kept thinking how God never gave me a son, or another daughter. Someone who would give some love to me.
    I think Anne (My daughter) takes things for granted, so instead of her calling I called and then I gave her the biggest lesson in her life.
    You won’t believe what I did to her, I know it is my own daughter, but after we spoke I invited her to urgently come as there are some big developments regarding my money.
    Not even the next day, the very same night she shows up, but she wasn’t ready for what was coming to her. She comes in all confident and bossy, but when she saw… Her eyes widened up and she was pale as a ghost.The Confrontation
    There, in the living room, stood a lawyer and my new caregiver, Mrs. Thompson, a kind-hearted woman with a sturdy resolve. Anne’s confident smirk faded quickly as the reality of the situation hit her. She had expected to find me weak and desperate, but instead, she found me stronger than ever, standing my ground.
    The lawyer began to speak, “Mrs. Anne, your mother has decided to take control of her assets and well-being. She has legally assigned her savings and property to be managed by a trust, with clear instructions that ensure her comfort and care without interference.”
    Anne’s face turned red with anger. “This is absurd! You can’t do this to me, Mother!”
    I looked her straight in the eye and said, “I can and I have. You wanted to throw me away and take my money. Now you’ll get nothing until I pass, and even then, it’ll be on my terms.”
    The Aftermath
    The shock and disbelief on Anne’s face were priceless. She tried to argue, but the lawyer calmly explained that everything was legally sound and unchangeable. Anne stormed out, slamming the door behind her.
    For the first time in years, I felt a sense of peace and control over my life. Mrs. Thompson helped me to my favorite chair, and we sat down to have tea. I knew I had done the right thing. My daughter needed to learn that love and respect cannot be bought or coerced. They have to be earned and cherished.
    As I sit here today, sipping my tea and watching the sunset, I am grateful for the strength I found within myself. I may be 90, but I am still capable of making my own decisions and living my life on my terms. Anne and I have found a new understanding, and my home is once again filled with love and respect.
    This experience has taught me that it’s never too late to stand up for yourself, to demand the respect you deserve, and to teach those around you the true meaning of love and family.

    Foi há precisamente 10 anos que Armando Carvalheda, que hoje nos deixou, nos apresentou no Teatro da Luz, em Lisboa, no seu conhecido programa “Viva a música”.
    O Armando Carvalheda foi sempre um grande divulgador da música portuguesa e até os açorianos conhecia (coisa rara).
    Os meus sentidos pêsames à Ana Sofia Carvalheda, sua filha, e a toda a restante família.
    Que descanse em paz.
