HAPPY MOTHERS DAY

I am often asked why I am willing to do what I do for Ms Ruth , after all she has never cared for me. There is an easy answer, I do it to honor my own Mom who died at the young age of 52. All of my life my Grandmother(Moms mother) and my Granny (Dad's mother) lived with us off an on. My Granny loved my Mama as much as she loved my Dad because of how my Mom treated her. My parents cared for my Grandmothers with unending love, respect, and devotion. My children have never been a part of such an experience as , in her right mind, Ruth did not want me around. Even though I really wish that Ruth could have maintained her much longed for independence until she died, I am so grateful for this small amount of time to be of some comfort and service to her. My hope is that I can meet every need that she needs met with the same cheerful heart and loving kindness that my Mama gave to my Grandmother and Granny. My heart felt desire is to teach my children about selfless love, to give back a little to my loving husband by helping he and Cindy with his Mom, to make Ruth's life the best it can be, but most of all to honor the life of my own Mom....

Mike visited Ruth at 9 on Sunday morning. He took her his much anticipated card(Ruth loves cards) and a newspaper. They visited for about an hour. She was calm and pleasant. She remains confused about who everyone is but he has learned to be whoever she needs him to be . She is excited about Cindy's visit.
I go to see her at 7:15 but she is already asleep so I do not wake her. I leave hoping she has had a good day.Happy Mothers Day Ruth...
