My recent Facebook post, and I thought I would share this with all of you. I’m certainly preaching the choir by sharing this, but the tender moments I share with my Mom — only those of you here in this forum, fully understand.
Post:
Deep gratitude tonight, as I prepare my Momma for bed. Our time together has grown quiet, her eyes gaze toward me, expressionless most of the time —-
My heart weeps as I whisper, “I love you Momma” I brush her hair, and her eyes gently close - We have a routine, and she expects it. I adjust her body in a seated position on the edge of the bed, I sit down next to her - I hold and rock her in my arms - every night.
An overwhelming feeling floods my heart this time of night; What if this is my last hug? What if this is my last kiss goodnight?
Vulnerable moment for me, but I share this with you because … life is very precious, and this time I’ve spent with my Mom, knowing that every day now is a gift —— it has put things into perspective, and we all should take inventory of our lives.
Appreciate those you love now, while they are here —- why? …. You know the rest.
