what happened to make things come to this? Out if everything that has happened within the last year, o wasn't expecting to end up here, though it wasn't a surprise and I had time to plan.
within the last two months, we have lost two of our dear family pets. Their age and health did not leave them in the best condition, but they held on as long as they could.
on the other hand, my mother has had to see the frontlines of this disaster and has had to face it by herself. If I was able, I would love nothing more than to be close to her to help her through this emotionally taxing process. Even with the wonderful support she has been receiving from her friends, she still could use just the extra human to help out around the house.
she often compared what it was like dealing with two sickly cats to my work. However, since she was dealing with it at home, it was something that was around her constantly. I get the chance to go home and walk away from the stress and sadness, but she lived in it.
I am trying to think of the positives of the situation, though as painful as they may be, they do exist. When one door closes, another opens, right?
I just hope things settle down for a while for my mother, she could use a break.
life for all of us should return to some form of normalcy and stability in due time, but until then, all we can do is bide our time and hold out hope.
