Mom is mostly non-responsive now, but sometimes she is able to interact with us in very subtle ways--but not too often, and its getting less and less. Even so, something special and much more obvious than usual happened today between Mom and me. She responded to me in a way that showed she heard my words, knew who I was, and understood exactly what I was saying. We literally cried together (not just her eyes having tears in them like weve seen a few times lately when we were talking to her or praying for her, but she was crying. Her face looked just like it used to look when she would start crying at something that touched her heart (which was often), and it was in direct response to my thanking her for being such a wonderful mama to me and telling her I wouldnt take anything for all the time I had spent with her during these last years--that these memories would always be special to me. She cried when I said that--tears in her eyes, emotional facial expression, a tiny little sound coming from her at the start. And before that even happened--when I first got there today--I went up to her and saw that her eyes were open so I leaned down close to her. She turned her eyes to me the best she could. I said, Mama--I know you can hear me. Can you see me? She gave me a tiny little nod. I told her I wished she could talk to me, but I knew she loved me even though she couldnt say the words, that I could feel her love. I told her that I knew her spirit was alive and well and wanting so much to communicate with us, but that her body wasnt cooperating. But I told her that we know shes listening and that we all love her very much. Wow . . . what a blessing that was to have Mom be able to show me that she heard me, that she understood what I was saying to her, that her heart was touched by my words, and that the same memories that were so special to me were just as special to her. I cant even begin to explain what today meant to me. It was amazing--a gift straight from God through Mom to me. I will never forget it.
