I have to tell you this week has flown by although I really thought Easter was moons away from that first Saturday a week ago.
Each day is a stronger day. Each day is a reminder day.
Each day....is a day to be grateful for this opportunity to give back to the Graini-Mom.
Each day I have made sure she has taken her meds....even that one early morning at 1:35 a.m. when I woke up remembering we forgot her "bedtime" medication dose and I woke her up to take them. Hey....she was in bed; it was still bedtime!!!!
Each day I have laid out clothes so she doesn't wind up wearing the same thing over and over...although I have been because MY own clothes closet (aka suitcase) is dwindling down.
Each day I have brushed her hair.
Each day I have lathered her face with moisturizer because it has gotten so dry.
Each day I have prayed for clarity and safety and wisdom.
Each day I am reminded that it could be me on the receiving end of this care.
Each day I am reminded that I WAS on the receiving end of this care and I'm painfully aware that our lives have now reversed.
I am heading home today with a song in my heart and a prayer to the Lord that all is well and I will hear those beautiful words some day "Well done, Good and Faithful Servant."
