My Mom and Love

My Mom had open heart surgery around last August/September where my Mom took a turn for the worst and lost all her energy and her will to survive any longer. She could barely stand up and move around. I watched for six weeks as we all kept trying to push my mom into doing what her body wasn’t ready to do at the time. After awhile I started to realize how all this pushing was causing a negative set back in my mom’s healing. I then became a witness of people yelling at my Mom to try harder, or talking about how bad off she is to her and rubbing it in that it was became easy to see how my Mom’s mind and body turned to giving up all hope. I then decided to start doing something different around my mom. I did not try to push her past what she wanted to do physically anymore and then I started to let her know more and more how much Lily and I love her and need her around. One time I even curled up in front of her like I did when I was little and just laid there for a little bit. For what ever reasons shortly after the love came pouring in my Mom started to get her health back. Now she is back to full health being in everyone’s business, worrying about everything that might happen, and wanting to give give give. I joke to myself what a pain she can be now that she is healthy again, but deep down I realize how lucky I am to have a mom like her, I try to thank God as much as possible that I got my Mommy back:~)
