That's how I feel with my Mom lately, anyway. Like she is on her path and I am on mine and after travelling along together for a while I have passed a fork in the road and looked around to find that she is taking the other fork. Many a time I have turned back to fetch her back but that can't go on forever. Life unspools as it will. Know that you have been a great daughter and now it is time to enjoy this adventure called life for yourself.<br /><br />Best wishes for you at this time. I think of you so often here in my very own Pillville.<br /><br />-invisigalAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2382277614743623418.post-43397749786529880402015-10-10T08:07:57.700-07:002015-10-10T08:07:57.700-07:00One day at a time.

All the nights spent listening for your mother, hearing her moans, waiting for a fall to happen...<br />It's not going to be overnight that some bit of peace overtakes you. <br />You may not be able to run from the suffering but you can get some much-needed rest, you can eat well, you can take your walks on the beach, do your yoga and Tai Chi, visit with friends. <br />Eventually, you will be able to breathe without thinking of the oxygen masks.

When they're not and there's no other choice, I think it could be unbearable. Now you need to take time for YOU, to just breathe. And in the name of all that's holy, please don't feel guilty! I'm sure she appreciates the love and care you've given, and deep down she knows you're the best martini-making, pill-dispensing, all-around best daughter she could ask for!Catrinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17408495829569772826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2382277614743623418.post-15642452337883460492015-10-10T01:41:16.005-07:002015-10-10T01:41:16.005-07:00You know that we are all with you at this time of ...You know that we are all with you at this time of breaking free, and that your mother is in a good place amongst people she is comfortable with. You have been just the best daughter over the last few years, and I am sure she knows how much you have done for her and appreciates it, even if she never says so.. Rest and take your ease now, push away the feelings of guilt that you might have, they are not worth feeling... just open your heart to your new adventures... and many more of them...sending hugs and best wishes for a great weekend...and the coming weeks...
