I'm sitting here missing my mom tonight. Although her body is still here, age, illness and dementia have stolen my mom away. She who was my confidant, kindred spirit, counselor and all around good buddy is now sadly hidden behind mists of forgetfulness and confusion. Occasionally, with a flash of humor or pithy witticism she manages to break thru and for a brief snatch of time she is back again, but, all too soon she dozes off or loses her way once more. And it frightens her. That's the hardest thing of all. And, I can't make it better.
And so I sit and crochet booties from her favorite pattern and remember for her and miss her. I love you, Mom.
Oh mom! This makes me so sad. She is definitely in my prayers. I love you!
ReplyDeleteWow, that was heartbreaking. We are praying for all of you and especially for her. We love you!
