My parents came in for Christmas and the New Year and I am more than happy to have them here. Unfortunately mom has been feeling under the weather. Actually, we were all under the weather but her health has taken a whole different turn. What we thought was a cold and then a sinus infection turns out to be an infected tear duct. This has brought her swelling, infection and a lot of pain. I have been taking care of her and praying she starts to feel relief soon.
While making dinner and watching her sit with a warm compress on her eye, she looked so sad, so uncomfortable, it was heartbreaking to see. I sat there and realized that the shoe was on the other foot, life had done a one-sixty and I was no longer watching my mom care for my grandma, I WAS mom and she was grandma. Why did it take a infected tear duct to see that life had come full circle and I am now an adult?
Wasn't my husband and children enough to tell me I was a thriving adult? It was so surreal, I can hardly put into words. I instantly wanted to have a little panic attack but then its like God whispered "Your blessed just enjoy." So I finished cooking, served my mom and pampered her with a foot soak and pedicure. Tomorrow she sees yet another specialist and I wish I was asleep right now since I have to wake early, Baby Ash has a different agenda sigh if it wasn't cold I'd take him for a ride and hope he'd fall asleep.
