I even hugged Mom at lunch and said "I'm really glad we are spending some time together just chilling, having fun"<BR/><BR/>I tried thinking of Mom as my "colleague" and she responded well to that and so did I. It was a totally different kind of energy.Debra Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13455047894767524091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-166466078612863791.post-15250392380205709402007-12-20T02:14:00.000-06:002007-12-20T02:14:00.000-06:00like Mim there is so much here to think about and ...like Mim there is so much here to think about and the words seem slow coming...<BR/><BR/>"so I will shave my legs and go"..<BR/>I know this post was about so much more than that, but it kind of sums it up for me...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-166466078612863791.post-73903343986444520792007-12-19T16:07:00.000-06:002007-12-19T16:07:00.000-06:00lovely seniments, debra kay. sunshine on the wires...lovely seniments, debra kay. sunshine on the wires: if that's part of your wealth, abundance will always be yours!!<BR/><BR/>good attitude for packing up uncle john's.kjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15122196887043345981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-166466078612863791.post-18521483363595371742007-12-19T15:23:00.000-06:002007-12-19T15:23:00.000-06:00It's nice to have a few really special moments thr...It's nice to have a few really special moments throughout the day - like my penguin visit yesterday.

Maybe dementia is nature's way of preparing us for that-I hadn't thought of it that way before. I visit with a lot of adult "children" who are very frustrated and want to resolve old issues, etc, and for many of us, that isn't possible any longer.<BR/><BR/>Eeek, insight. Maybe the first step in being treated like an adult is treating your parents like adults and not parents. That's a heavy thought.Debra Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13455047894767524091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-166466078612863791.post-66357743324354234692007-12-19T09:31:00.000-06:002007-12-19T09:31:00.000-06:00It's been a few days since reading posts but your'...It's been a few days since reading posts but your's are so interesting. I have tried to write what I thinking about your posts, but the words won't come. I recently had a moment where I saw my mom as a "person" rather than my mother and that was an amazing experience. I've been treating her differently since then - yes she's still mom, but she's a normal human who needs love, warmth and compassion from everyone - including me. Somehow it was a breakthru moment for me- and I see that you are heading in the same direction. Embrace it - it's very liberating! (I still get frustrated...but I'm human too!) <BR/>Hope you get my meaning, MimMimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12409455543895086283noreply@blogger.com
