Thank you for taking the time to share this J. Goodrich ~ Such a beautiful meditation this morning with my coffee. We took care of both of my husbands parents and my mother. At one time they all lived with us. I have experienced “stressed out for sure”. Once when I took my mother to the garden in her wheelchair to pick roses that she carried in her lap she said “I just wish we could squeeze out a little more time.”
She passed shortly after and I never forgot that statement.
I’m grateful for the time we had and I’ve found it true that the deeper bonding comes from the labor of taking care of someone.
Thank You Darla,D, I also took care of both of my parents until they passed. I was lucky to have my sister that greatly helped also. My mother in law has moved in with us now. I think we all need to balance our lives. Take time to appreciate the people around us. Every day is a gift. We shouldn’t have to wait for holidays to be thankful or give gifts or give a card saying I love you. This is something we should try to do every day in some manner, even with a compliment or helping someone that has a burden. It’s amazing how people remember simple acts of kindness even from a stranger.
