Last week I realized my Mom isnt getting any younger and for that fact nor am I....but I can still get up, drive and go places.....she cant! So I called her and asked would you like to go to Lake George and have lunch on one of the tour ships? She cried.....for so many reasons.....to get out of her small apt., she was being thought of and deep down I think shes thinking how much longer do I have? She then said can your sister go? Donna Browne) were I said OMG are you kidding me? Ha ha not not really...I love my sister for just who she is.....her Donna! For those who know me I live for the summer & my pool...so when i saw today was going to be sunny and hot......to myself I said gezzzzzzzzzzz (not in such a nice way) are you kidding me? But a promise is a promise.....and when I pulled the car into Moms Senior building she was sitting they waiting and ready for her adventure...a day out! It was a day of challenges. Not for me but for Mom. She cant move well at all any more. We take for granted the simply thing of just being able to get our selves up from a sitting position....SHE CANT. Its no longer being able to pick her up and just go. You need to get her to the car...into the car & her walker. She cant even get her own legs into the car. Stop and think for a min. your body has failed to the point you cant get your own legs and feet into the car. Thats just the beginning for what has failed for her. Donna and I took her out on one of the boats in Lake George...they were great with her!!!! And Mom was happy she even wanted to go up out onto the deck...wanted to feel the wind on her face. Now she couldnt get herself up ......the deck hands from the ship were so helpful and without making her feel as a burden. All on this ship helped in every-way they could in the same matter! Point of this very long post.....I havent always been the best daughter......note to my children and self.....my Mom pisses me off at times...with stuff thats at best stupid.....shes my Mom who did the best she knew how to do...and she not me nor does she have to be or believe that what I believe she should have done ......who the hell Im I? Im her daughter who learned what I know by her being my Mom! And that my friends I call a good job done well by her! She will never see this and thats ok.........but I love her and have learned to except her as her! Love you Mom...your daughter Dianne!
