Tender Moments

[bazooka111]

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.

I’ve had one of those this week, Colin has been take off the venlafaxin and mardasipan over the 2 months. He had a massive siezure after 2 little ones, on Tuesday, then 2 days later as I went to bed I told him as usual I love him very much and he is safe, as walked towards the stair I heard “ I love you too” as clear as anything. What a way to settle for the night xxxx

I know exactly what you felt in that moment —- mom has done that — so clear, with volume —- it takes me to my knees. Hugs to you my friend.

Hi beautiful pictures. Now that mother is no longer with us, it is those moments I treasure and think about, knowing how lucky we were to have them. Xx

Treasured and precious moments, hold them fast to your heart. As you say Why? Because it is very lonely when they are gone and it’s those precious memories that can help us get through the not so good days.

Love as always Kim xx

Wise words and beautifully written. Thank you for sharing. It's always good to remember your thoughts, especially when what's truly precious gets lost in exhaustion and frustration. God bless you in your tender care for your mama.
