Dreamin'

Far away, there in the sunshine,

 are my highest aspirations….

I can look up and see their beauty,

believe in them,

 and try to follow where they lead.

—Louisa May Alcott

I've been spending a lot of hours 

in a hospital room with my mother.

As she lay there resting, I can't 

help but wonder where the years went.

I never think of her as old, but laying 

there so helpless suddenly she looks 

like my Grandmother. Mom's should just 

stay mom's....always there with an apron on

and ready to cook you whatever you want!

Sending surprise packages home with you,

and calling up with dumb questions!!

She is 80 now and the road to recovery

just keeps getting longer and harder.

My dad would always ask me,

"what would we do without her?"

I really don't want to find out.

"Lord, give her strength and will to carry on,

if that doesn't work maybe some fabric and a new quilt pattern!"

Thanks

 and

 Hugs,
