I win! (oh be quiet and let me dream!)

I am a mother to seven year old adopted son with Down syndrome, and mother to four grown children. I mom, friend, daughter and family is where my heart is. I am a writer, a romantic, a dreamer, and an optimist. I will be a grandmother in May.

I'm back

devastating is watching my father die with cancer when he was in his fifties, and seeing my stepfather with dementia and struggle as he forgets when he talked to my mom last and she is now in a nursing home. Devastating is seeing my mom on a ventilator and knowing my son is smoking. Devastating is a house full of stuff and knowing my parents will never return to be in their home again, and knowing I will have to go there myself and help go through stuff.

Thank you for the positive feedback.

It's all just a moment
A second of time
This life that we're living
No reason or rhyme

So I'm walking in faith
Knowing love can be found
If you look really hard
Love is all around

Reaching out
Heart to heart
Sharing time
Though we're all far apart

Reaching high
For our dreams
Sharing laughs
Or those inbetweens

Tapping on computers
Exposing what's inside
Laughing out loud
With eyes open wide

Some are just friends
Some find their love
I pray for the best
When push comes to shove

For it takes just one moment
For change to come
I hope to share one day
With my own true love.

Congratulations! Hope you are both very happy for a very long time!

A man of power
Now thin and frail
Sits in his room
Tear smeared trail

He misses his wife
Who is sick and alone
Yet he has dementia
Is wondering why he isn't at home

He once was a prison guard
A man full of power
It's hard watching his life now
In this final hour

He only wants his wife to be
Happy and fine
So he asks me to buy a card
With an "I love you" line.

I don't need to watch tv
To see true love
By watching my stepfather and Mom
I'm blessed from above

I hate knowing they won't go home
At least not here on earth
A nursing home is next for them

My mom went into a nursing home tonight, and my stepdad is crying in another hospital missing her. This is so sad. I am hoping they will be united in the same nursing home soon. They have been apart since my mom went to emergancy room on New Years Eve.

My mom went into a nursing home today, and she is still quite weak. My stepdad was admitted to a hospital for pneumonia, but this was a blessing in a way since he would have care and we hope he will be united with his wife soon. I went to see him today and he told me to please go shopping for a card for my mom so she knows he loves her. I will take the card to him for him to sign it. It brings tears to my eyes knowing they found each other a long time ago, and they worked to keep their marriage through the good and bad. Bottom line is when it's all said and done their love was the biggest asset they had.

My mom told her sister she felt this time she wouldn't make it. I can see she is tired and worn out. Going into a nursing home isn't going to be easy for either of them, but I believe if they have each other then there is a better chance for them both.
