Through My Eyes
|
Smile I did something yesterday that I haven�t done in a very long time, I smiled. Not just your regular old smile, the kind of smile that makes you feel happy way down deep in your soul. I had forgotten how wonderful that feels. I�ve been so consumed with my mom and the deaths of my aunts that I haven�t had time to think of anything else. Even when I did do something for myself, a few days away or a massage, there was a constant list of things that needed to be done running through my head. Yesterday after meeting with our paralegal, I actually felt like there was a light at the end of this very long tunnel. I feel like there�s been a huge weight lifted off my shoulders. My mom is in a good convalescent hospital where she is well taken care of and valued. With the help of our paralegal and attorney all our legal paperwork is in order. There�s a sense of calm that is settling over our home. Don�t get me wrong I love my mom dearly, but caring for her at home put a lot of stress on all of us and home was a very difficult place to be. Now that mom�s in the convalescent hospital, dad and I are settling in to an easy free, flow routine. The atmosphere is very peaceful and quiet. I think we�re both much calmer and happier without the stress of caring for mom. Now I feel like I can breathe and think about the future without feeling guilty. |
