You are a loving caring daughter and I know you are doing everything possible for your mom.
I’m so happy that you and your partner in life, Garett, are so honest with each other, you share your thoughts and emotions. A lot of couples don’t have this gift that you both share.
I’m sure soon enough you and Garett will see your baby in your mom’s arms. ..and that healing sight is just going to be so beautiful and precious 🙏🏼❤️
Thank you for sharing. There were a lot of things that I could relate to and some things that I had never considered and were thought provoking. I am taking care of my 93-year-old mother who has moved in with me but I am single and 55. I’ve never had to consult with another on the decisions in my life or feel that a relationship might not last through a decision I made. I could feel your emotions laid bare and I appreciate you taking responsibility for caregiving. It’s not easy and it’s difficult most days. May you find joy and peace.
Christina, I was crying as I was reading. I love how you are doing things on your timeline and no one else's. I love how your husband made the difficult decision to be with you and move with you to be close to your parents. I can't imagine what I would do without my mother and I don't want to find out. I recently moved to TX from MD while she lives in NY. While still living in MD, we would drive 3.5/4 hours for a visit for the weekend and not think anything of it. Now that we are in TX, and we love it here don't get me wrong but that is the one thing I miss doing, driving on any given weekend or long holiday to see her. If we need to do that now it will be plane tickets, ubers, etc. and just the thought of those additional things makes me very hesitant. I haven't seen her since December of last year and I miss her so much. Enjoy spending time with your mom while she is still alive!
