Prayer.
It’s a slow and challenging start today with Mom. Alzheimer’s Disease is taking its toll… little by little, I see the feisty, funny, petite woman who I adore, fade away.
This new woman, is empty, sad and weathered. Amazing what happens to the body when the spirit starts to leave.
This morning Mom cries and tells me she’s tired. Says she loves me and looks forward to the time we spend together each week, but doesn’t want to hold me back — keeping me and the kids from living.
She is confused and doesn’t understand what’s happening to her. I understand and am heartbroken that she has to endure it.
I hate this disease, it is cruelty personified.
Pray for my Mom friends.
Luckie.
May Mom be well.
May Mom feel protected and safe.
May Mom feel pleased and content.
May her physical body support me.
May her life unfold smoothly with ease…
