A picture is worth a thousand words.
Just a thought ... These are hard days, yes ... but, in some ways, not at all. I am sharing this snapshot, taken seconds before I started typing ... There will come a day, that I will remember this time spent with my sweet Momma as a distant memory, and wishing I could have this time back, here at the Lake House!
This picture has a story ... Simple conversation going back and forth between my Momma and I; most very random. Momma has just about lost her ability to speak —- she has thoughts, opinions, and works hard to express ... with every ounce of energy in her!
We are watching Sleepless in Seattle, and she looks at me and whispers — I wonder how Tom Hanks and his wife are doing? I smile, the very fact that she is up to date on all of the current events surrounding us - she may not be able to verbalize, but indeed is fully aware!
Sipping on unsweetened ice tea (we are diabetics under control ;-), working on a puzzle, chips and salsa as a snack ... and I look up at a gift of a picture hanging on the wall that says, “Don’t Stop Believing” on the wall.
Cherish the memories that you are making, as difficult as times may be for ya right now ... this too shall pass.
Praying for you all this Wednesday "quarantined" afternoon ...
