Today has been an emotional day. One minute happy, one minute sad. As we mature and we the children become the caregivers of those that cared and nurtured us, it hits me everyday that this should not be. They are our heroes, our examples of honesty, humility, honor and love, and our rock. We feel it as we walk through door, ahhhh Im home. Safe. They will protect us. But now the reality is life is shifting. My Moms cancer has progressed into her brain and we go tomorrow to the doctor to see if the latest round of treatments has been working. We have good days and some not so good days these last few weeks. Its difficult to process. Today my sister and I were just cleaning up and organizing some things in the house and we found a few of moms stashes. One was a box that had some old jewelry in it. In one little box were both my moms and dads high school class rings. Together. Another had their original wedding bands. Together. Another box had jewelry that my dad had given my mom over the years. He loved to give her special gifts as did she. Some simple, some extravagant but always filled with love. Then I opened another box and there was a pocket watch with this inscribed inside. To the one I love with all my love Their love is timeless and without boundaries. The real deal forever kind. I am so lucky and privileged to come from that love and have that as my example for how life should be. I know dad is watching over mom as we travel this journey all of us together. As it should be. I think that pretty much sums it up for me today. :)
