Page before I began
This has been a mixed week which has seen me contemplating the passages of time, spending quite a bit of it with my mum, looking back at the things that seem so hard now that were easy for her to do before.
I guess that I have just adapted to the changes dealing with what is necessary at the time and putting things in place so that she can have an easier time as possible. She now has to use a wheel chair as walking has become difficult. It was while we were coming up the 20 stairs to her flat that it dawned on me how difficult it is becoming for her. I encourage her to lift her feet and take a step chattering at how well she is doing and let her know that there is a lovely cup of tea and biscuits waiting for her, she moves slowly but we eventually get there, she says she is looking forward to the biscuits.
I am grateful for the time that I get to spend with her, despite her decline still has a strength and resolve about her that see's her get up and with one step at a time hold on to her life.
We never know when we will take our last breath and I celebrate mums life, that gave me life and encourages me to move forward whether going through the ups or downs of the circumstances that may come my way.
I would love to hear from you and share what action you will be taking. As this week draws to a close have a blessed weekend! If you want to see how I made the journal (click here) Blessings!

It is difficult to watch our parents suffer as they are. I went through it with mine - not easy. God bless you and your mum.
