The past couple of days my mom has not felt the best in the world. As a matter of fact it's had her confined to her bed all wrapped up with the rest of the family taking care of her. This is the first time I've ever seen my mom sick in person, and to be honest I didn't expect to react this way so to speak. Of course she is a special lady and I love her to death and I thank God for her everyday. In the last couple of days though I've come to realize how important my mom is to this family.
We work as a team here in this family. We all do a little to help out around the house. With God...(then daddy...lol) as our team captain we work through our days and for the most part have some pretty awesome days together. The past couple of morning though I must say my mornings have been a bit off...something missing. Even work questioned me today as to what was wrong with me and they have only seen me at work 4 days. I told them my mom was sick and they were like wow she must be pretty special you really love her huh? Ummm like DUGH!!!
I haven't really known how to 'cope' so to speak with my mom being sick. So much of me wants to fight it for her but I know that's not my place. I have prayed multiple times and fought the urge to go in and check on her so she can get some sleep. I made my mom a little book today with drawings I drew and some writing on there. I hope it cheered her up a little bit at least. I admit I miss my momma some kind of bad. Although she is still in the home, I miss her smile that usually greets me in the mornings. I miss her singing praises of joy to our Savior, our King, our Emanuel, our God. I know God is healing her and tomorrow she is going to be better.
Thank you to those that have prayed for her it's been greatly appreciated. I guess the saying is true...You never know how much you really have until it's gone. Although my mom is still here, she is not really around and she is greatly missed. I have a great respect and honor for my mom. She brings to this family that no one else can. We all have a little special gift that we bring to each other through out our days and when one is missing, it is definitely missed. I love my momma!

Such a new learning experience for your heart & mind! Sorting this new mix of emotions out will work itself out. You are doing the right thing. Writing about it & talking about it is so important. It brings things into the light and in that light are all the answers. Ok, I'm #1, so who will be #2? ha, ha, ha
ReplyDeleteIf your mom reads this she will be delighted by the words! To know how loved even her smile makes you feel as a daughter will be a gift to her, and the fact that you have shared that with us is a gift to us. Thank you.
