Today she asked what does the medication that she is taking, actually do. I told her the best I could without scarring her. But I also told her, that it's up to her too, to do her best to relax, remain calm and make sure she gets enough rest, so that the medication can do what it's suppose to do.
We all have fears within us, but being with my mother these days, I have learned a lot about her mental health. I've always saw my mother as a very strong woman. I also saw her as a example of the Proverbs 31 woman ("Who can find a virtuous and capable wife? She is more precious than rubies" Proverbs 31:10 NLT) Yes, my father provided for us, but my mother made everything happen for us a children.
She made sure all our days were sunny and bright. Now I need to do the same for her. I really don't know how to do it, especially when I'm not sure how each day is going to be. I can't wait for our weather finally decide what it wants to do. Then I can get her out to maybe walk a bit, driving around and other things.
I will say this, I am so glad she gave up driving months before all of this happened. Things could be not so good if she were able to get behind the wheel. When God wants to slow you down, or stop you, trust me, He will put something in front of you to slow you down or stop you. But our crazy butts, will ignore it, keep going and end up in a bad place.
I am going to soak in all the bright days I can get, and not allow the overcast days to derail me. That is my plan, but I am human, and we get caught off guard and it will happen. But am going to start looking for the bright spots in everyday, from this point on!
Yes I can...
