I try to be patient when he repeats and repeats and seems to be able to handle less and less things that he has to think about to do. Unfortunately I'm 3 hours away and only get up there every other Saturday so sometimes I don't really know if he's doing as well as he says when he calls. I'll try to find that book.

Like you write in your post, the pleasant and the unpleasant seem to blend in perfectly. Of course I'm sorry to hear about your mother, but still, it is good that you can share this and that people support you.<br />Wishing you a lot of strength again and I know that you already have a lot, but just for the moments when you loose hope.

It seems it's close by, but its hard to see where it's coming from, hard to guess whom is knocking to whom, or from which direction. <br /><br />So when it gets really quiet, you listen intently to that lonely knocking, its hopes and dreams trying to get in. And its so beautiful once we find them... <br /><br />We are all here together for a while, for a couple of moments, in that silence... When we look out our windows, we see such citrusy daffodils, we listen to he heaven and the earth as they wake up... But we also examine the night, which hides and takes away... but the most beautiful thing in it is that now your Mom can trust you completely, and you can embrace her completely, and show her that love is forever. You can show her that you hear her when she cries, even when she is so far away. You show her that you are her child, angel and star...<br /><br />No mater what the sickness, and how weird it seems, I beleive they can still see everything around them. U pray that you find that you find that light in your heart, just like you found the flowers in the woods, and keep it there. <br /><br />With you,Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03114482618134817788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6344281177154314706.post-3466378243730748862011-03-02T10:17:54.345-06:002011-03-02T10:17:54.345-06:00I am so sorry that you are facing this with your m...I am so sorry that you are facing this with your mother after having already been through it with your beloved's.
