It’s been a while since I wrote a moms moment and this last month while agonizing has bore gifts I cannot begin to describe. A year has a half ago I brought my moms home to live with me. It was bittersweet I wanted to have her here and had many moments of hurt I cannot possibly illustrate properly in words. Moms has multiple health issues and a month ago she had a heart attack and hypoxia. As I have watched her diminish more and more revelations and there are bittersweet moments. Tonight was her blowing bubbles in her egg drop soup and giggling and saying I keep forgetting to suck or blow and then proclaiming “I am a bad girl!” I said oh my goodness no you are a very good girl. Somewhere in the process my mother is returning to the innocence of being a child and I am amazed by the gifts my God offers. Serenity and peace for me.I hope the same for moms. Earlier today she told me when I had to run an errand that she misses me! Now you can be absolutely certain some of the things she says hurt but today was pure joy. The picture is moms from early this morning while I watched her sleeping.
