I had company today and I talked about one of the things I miss the most was Mom not being able to sit in her chair in the living room. It always took me back to Roaring Springs and her in her chair. It created the same feelings of "going home" to see Mom and Dad and the way they made me feel so "taken care of". When I was in Mom's house in Roaring Springs it did not matter what was going on in my life, for that few days I did not have a care in the world! So when Mom was in her recliner in my living room all was right in my world, I so looked forward to the evenings. Now I feel out of sorts. I told Leann that while my Mom was never super affectionate there was never a time I did not feel very loved by her!
One of my friends posted this on Facebook today and I thought it was perfect!
So true Beverly. I miss my mom so much sometimes I just tear up for no reason and cry for no reason. I understand the feeling of security and love you have for your mom. My dad is not affectionate but he will say I love you too after I tell him that each time I leave him or talk to him on the phone. He used to say um you too instead. When I hug him he still tenses up like always. He is such a good man and would do anything for anyone. I hate seeing his eyes go blank when I talk to him and he doesnt understand and especially when he sundowns and gets angry and there is NO pleasing him. I have lied so many times to daddy to keep him from being angry. Tommorrow Lacey and I are going to Q`town so they can meet Elliot my new grandson. My dad is 80 and Walters mom is 82. They are so excited to see him. Difference is daddy had only 2 daughters and 2 granddaughters and now a greatgrandson. First boy in many many years. Walters mom has 7 kids and many grandkids and great grands. I pray for you and your family and know that I pray for you to have peace and comfort knowing you have done everything for your mom. God bless you, Kay
