The day has come
Hello,
Well I just felt like to write and express my thoughts for today. I feel very happy today that finally after 3 months and 1 week in the hospital my mother was released today and I picked her up, and brought her home just after 1pm. She was quite emotional when I brought her inside. She started to cry and hug me, and said she thought she would never see her home again.
Normally I go to visit her every day, or every second day at the hospital, but I caught a bad flu virus going around so I was not able to see her, in case of her catching it from me. Well this flu bug dragged on for 1 month, so this was first time to see her since then. She lost a lot of weight since last I visited. It's understandable after all she went through, but it still was a bit of a shock to see her like that.
So here we are inside the front door of the house with her hugging me and crying, and after I spoke to her a bit, she was ok. I just think she needed to let it out. So I helped her inside to the living room, as she cannot walk well. (See other journal to know what happened with her) What I did not mention is I have been renovating the house for the last 3 months. It?s been a very tough time, being sick myself trying to do my work, plus house renovations, plus try to make it to hospital. I really wanted the house looking perfect for when she came home, and I just finished everything a few days before. (Will write about the renovations another time)
So there my mother sat just looking at her house and kept saying how lovely it was, and it looked beautiful. Just to hear those words from her, and to see the look on her face, and know she was happy, it was worth it. I felt so good at this moment, and relieved that I have accomplished all I had said I would get done. I do not even know how to explain it; just feel like a huge weight was lifted off my shoulders. Things were so tough the last 3 months; nobody could truly understand the depth of the stress, and worry and hard times I faced and my family here.
But here I sat with my mother and I knew that the worse was over for us now. Yes my mother will have to rehabilitate, and it will take some time before she is healed, but she is home, and that will make a huge difference in her recovery.
So my day comes to an end with my mother asleep in her own bed, under her own roof, with her family here that loves her.
I feel content at this very moment, and know that things can only get better. Positive thoughts will always eventually give you positive results. Just don't give up. At least this is what I always tell myself in hard times.
My thoughts come to the end for today.
