Hospital bed in the living room with view of the cupelo. |
Forever in my bedroom
outlining with my eyes
window frames
shadows on the curtains
religiously
taking pills, painkillers
heat and ice packs
when finally it dawns
that no one knows
how long it's going to be.
Only time will tell.
What a beautiful room and view, so much nicer than being in a hospital.
ReplyDeleteYou're a very good daughter to be there for your Mom during this most difficult time. I'm so glad you, your siblings, kids and grand-kids were all together with her last fall to celebrate her 90th birthday.
My thoughts are with you.
Thank you, Deb
ReplyDeleteI'm glad she can have that beautiful light around her. The room looks so comfortable and comforting.
