I went to my mother's care plan meeting today. She has Azheimer's and lives in a senior residence center. At the meeting, I was told that it was time for her to be placed on Hospice. Inside I mourn from hearing these words. On the outside, I am trying to look at the positive side of life and continue my month of photos showing blessings. When I came home from the care plan meeting, I got my mother's glass blue bird of happiness figurine and starting taking macro shots in hopes of getting an abstract which would show my present mood. I chose the blue bird, which symbolized happiness to her, because I wanted to think of something that could be make me happy when I thought of my mother. This is the thought that came to my mind: "I am happy that my mother has had a long life and that I have had her in my life for a long time." This is today's blessing-the blessing of a long, good life.
How wonderfully you have been able to put your mother's life in a way that is so positive to you. The choice of the blue bird is so special - something tangible that will always be meaningful to you. Prayers for you and your family.
A very loving and tender tribute to your mother...one which I am sure she would love as well. Continue to take care of yourself and remember those wonderful memories! I have a couple of hats that my Dad wore hanging on my coat rack...I think of him whenever I see them.I can almost smell his presence! Take care
Oh what a difficult time for your Daisy. You have turned a most difficult moment into a very meaningful image...the blessings of a long life. My heart goes out to you today.
Beautiful abstract, Daisy. Such a thoughtful message and loving comments about your mother. Sending you wishes for strength to get through this difficult time. Your comments and thoughts are very inspiring, I think it is wonderful how you chose to focus on your blessings. Hugs.
So sorry for all of you and admire the way/the courage you are going through this. ( I`ve my own experiences with this and looking back, they where not all negative )
Great abstract
@pyrrhula Thank you. I am trying to look for the little positives each day when I visit my mother. Today, she asked what I was doing. Even though she only said a few words, it was great to hear her talk. (She rarely talks.)
Great abstract
