It's a situation a lot of people face everyday, but you don't want to believe it's happening to you. I know staying at the nursing home is best for her, but a piece of my heart is broken. It's the piece connecting a child to her mother. I'm sure you understand what I'm talking about.
I shouldn't feel this way; she's getting great care, she's happy and content; that's all that should matter. I guess I'm feeling selfish in my own right. I miss her. I can visit or call whenever I want, but it doesn't feel the same. It isn't like walking through her back door, sitting down, and laughing over a pot of coffee.
I guess part of letting go is a part of life.
I love you, Mom!

She's still right there, waiting for you to walk through the door with coffee. So what if she has some hired hands to make her day easier? Crank your radio and listen to your favorite songs on the way to make the trip seem shorter. If you ever want company, give me a yell, I'll go along too (I'll even buy the Starbuck's). You and your family are the best and will look after her. Take her to breakfasts, laugh until you can't and rest a little easier knowing she has round-the-clock care.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry she won't be coming home and things can't be the way they once were. I know you though, and you'll make the best of it, just like you do every other hurdle life throws at you. You, your mom and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Oh, and give Margie a big smooch for me!!!

You're the best. Leave it to you to help mend a broken heart. Thank you for the emotional uplift.
ReplyDeleteI'll love you forever, girlfriend!
