How do I begin to say I love you ? You and I have had so many problems in our life together, yet we are still together in love & peace. No matter what ever happens in my life, you shall always be my mother. You have taught me so many things in life that I can never repay. I don't know that I say it all the time, or enough to make you feel or even see it. I don't know that I have always been the perfect daughter, for we all make mistakes. You however, still love me for me. You will always love me in this way. For that alone I shall be eternally grateful to you, My mother, The giver of my life. The time came that you needed to be cared for, and I dropped my entire life to do nothing but care for you, as you had done for me as a small child. You were so very ill, and needed such intense care, that I had no choice after awhile but to place you in a nursing home. I don't regret that, because at that time, it was what you needed. Then came the time you were so tired of all the medications and all the treatments. Knowing your life would never change we talked, many hours we talked, and the choice was made to bring you home to live out your final time. I left my online life completely for you at that time. I devoted all I had, every waking moment to you. I promised you NO pain, no matter where you were, I would be here with you forever. The day came, what a sad day for me. With all the things going on, you still knew I was here for you. In the 9 days we shared since you made the choice to let go, we had so many nights alone, sitting and talking, and making sure we each knew how the other was feeling, and what we were each thinking. You still, in all that was going on in your mind, wanted to make sure I knew you were ok, and to make sure I was ok with what you had choosen to do. As the time came near, all I could do was make sure you were happy, and to help you. As you began to let go, I held your hand and wanted you to know I was here for you, and would help you to make this final journey and go home to be with your only son ,that you so dearly loved and missed in your life. |
