I have realized in the past week that seeing my Critter in distress is one of the most painful things I have ever had to witness.
I have learned the power of forgiveness. I have had a strained relationship with my Mother-in-Law but, now I know that it does not matter.
She has suffered a massive stoke and will most likely need constant care for the rest of her life and I will do whatever I can do to give her the best quality of life.
She is Critter's Mom and my love for him has taught me I need to let go of my indifference's and let my actions speak for me.
I will help Critter and his sister place her in the facility I work in hopefully, this week and from the day she arrives, I will do whatever I can.
I will be there daily to check on her and attend to her needs and maybe, I can help relive some of the stress on Critter and his sister.
I will do her laundry,buy her clothes and bedding etc.. (One cannot sleep on sheets less than 500 thread count. I have taught Critter this important lesson in life) I will do whatever. Not, because I am trying to gain favor or to be noticed but, because She is Critter's Mom and because she is in a difficult situation and unable to help herself.
I have learned that I am still growing and learning at the age 42.
My sister Lisa would have been 50 this past Friday, Maybe, it is her guidance and the Love of Our Lord that is guiding me.
You're a wonderfully sweet person. Critter is very lucky.
ReplyDeleteI would have to agree. It is the love that God has placed in your heart for Critter that is guiding you. Y'all have a tough row to hoe in front of you and I will continue to pray for the strength to do it.

Bless your heart! This is certainly a difficult time for you. But I truly believe in the adage that what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. You will definitely be stronger for these experiences. We'll be praying for you and your family.
