Hello again
So as the days are going on, mom is enjoying her new space.
The girls, mom's daughters, came today. All I see is a card. No flowers for their mother. Come on now!. One card for an entire family. Really! There have been times when I wanted to get mom flowers and I had no money to do so. So I went around and picked some flowers for mom.
It is that simple. They both have homes, is it to difficult to pick some of your flowers or even bring her a plant. I am glad to take care of it. As I do anyways.
The Christmas poinsettia lasted until March. It would of lasted longer, but the staff members kept over watering it. Even though I left a note to please not water the plants.
After everything my parents have done for the girls, they could not even bring mom flowers. Mom was happy they came, she told me so. But it seems they are not that affectionate towards mom.
What she has is not contagious! It is mom.......
To bad if you can't handle what is happening to her. Suck it up, as I have always said, and just be their for her. As I am.
I know mom is sick and has many problems. But I don't let them bother me. I am just their for her. In what ever way I can/
To me it is to be their everyday and do whatever I can for her. It is the little things that matter. As wiping her nose, her mouth, her eyes. Washing her hands, changing her at night. Doing her laundry. Making sure mom has fresh fruit and her smoothie, that she loves.
To sing to her, to stand with her while she is falling asleep, holding her hand. To just talk to her the way that we speak to each other.
To ask her what she wants, To give mom the choice each time. To notice when mom is not feeling well, or is tired or just wants to go to bed. Or even when her diaper is dirty.
It is the little things that make her life more enjoyable.
Yes I like to spoil mom, and she should be spoiled.
After all mom did a great job raising me. And I will in turn do everything to look after her.
And for me, I am in more pain today than I have felt in a long time. This dam headache won't go away. And I am having a hard time using my right arm, because of the elbow issue.
Can't carry what I normally carry each day. By the time I get home I can barely mover.
Still need a place. Someone I know needed a place for a few months or less, while he is in town looking after his mother. Who is in the same way as my mother. And we have the same case manager at the PGT.
It is a temporary fix. Still need a place. Can't live her much longer.
Please pray for me that GOD puts a place in my way ASAP
GOD bless and goodnight
