Have I fallen off the fine line? Most likely. Is it okay? We'll see. Always going to fall off the line. It's a matter of whether or not I am caught by a net or hit ground. :-)
My dear mother is with me for the week. I love her coming to see us and help. It's a bit hard to take that my 89 yr old mom can run circles around me. I am able to make cookies, candy, shop, go out socially, because she is here doing my grunt work. She does dishes. Laundry. Helps me remember and make menus.
Why Lord? Why has she had to help me out for the last sixteen years? We won't maybe ever know. But, I do know this. My mom needs to be needed, and especially since my dad passed away. She and I struggled with my not wanting her to do stuff around my house anymore.
She said to me one time: If I do something I want to do and I die doing it, Just know this. I DIED HAPPY! What a great outlook. She's ready to go HOME in some ways and yet she just wants to still enjoy life. This means being busy to her. I love you mom.
