Still sick

Hello again

Mom is still sick, and now many more people,where she lives, are sick as well. Even though I have been saying for three days now mom is sick. But, once again, they don't think I know my mother at all.

Isn't it strange that of all the nurses and aids, that not a one of them, noticed that mom's eating habits changed, that she was very tired. Had the symptoms of the flu.

Even noticing her mood is different.

But now mom is getting better, the other people are now sick, and they have sent samples off to be checked for symptoms of the Norvoflu.

Mom now has a headache, part of this flu. Still not eating much. Not even drinking much. I do have to get more liquid into her. Giving her Ginger ale, soft foods, that are easy for her stomach. Getting her into bed early.

So when I got home and turned on my computer, I received an email from my mothers best friends daughter in law.

Very bad news. Mrs Elliott, passed away this morning. She was a very nice person and mom's best friend for 40 years. It has only been the last 6 years that they have not seen each other due to their illness's. It is a shame.

Before Christmas, I wanted mom to go and see Mrs Elliott. But the PGT would not accommodate the situation. I knew mom needed to see her.

I know things, well in advance. Call it a gift or a curse.  I knew mom needed to see her friend before it was to late. And it is.

I am not sure if I should be telling mom about this. She was her friend and mom might want to go to the funeral. I should really let her know. I don't want mom to get to upset, or even think that all her friends are gone  and maybe it is time for her to let go.

This is to hard to imagine for me. Mom is healthy. And if it was not for her daughters she would be happier.

This makes it far more important for me to move to White Rock now. To be able to get mom to do more and to enjoy herself.

I will have to pray on this.

I am very sad. She was a nice women.

I am very sad for mom, as well. I don't know how she will react.

There is other things I wanted to write about. But it is all irrelevant now.

I need to be closer to mom. To make her life great.

Pray for me, that something happens that I am able to move to White Rock, into my own place. That the needed finances come to fruition

GOD bless and good night

I pray for Mrs Elliott's sons, daughter in law, and her grandchildren. That they may find peace, that Mrs Elliott is in a better place. Free of pain, troubles. That she is with her family now. Her heavenly family and the loved one's that have gone before her.
