sitting with my mom the years that surround her are so long she is reflecting and pondering telling stories and wondering and this is what she had to say — all my siblings have passed away but you can’t cry all the time you have to laugh you have to think love is so simple and sometimes you don’t realize it’s there — and my dad brings her flowers the hours of another day slowly pass away my dear mom so far from the world she once knew i’ll try and remember to let the tears speak and the laughter sing and I’ll wonder and ponder and try to remember for my remaining days to see the love before me and then give it away
I am learning the senior years are often not as easy as it looks! My father-in-law used to say, ‘Getting old aint for sissys’! My folks are 90 & 92 and all their friends have passed … that must make one feel lonely.
God bless them both. Yes… I have talked to my mom about how alone she feels in the world.
