The goal for the day was to have fun while doing something for my 88 year old mother with love. The adventure began about 1PM when a friend of my picked me up for a drive to the other side of the city. We both noticed the cloud formations which looked like angel wings. They covered the beautiful blue sky as we made our way through the busy streets.
We stopped for lunch at a nice restaurant and shared so many happy stories about things that had gone on since the last time we had been together. Everyone in the restaurant was smiling and having fun. The food was excellent and we tried an Italian Margarita, something either of us had experienced before. Quite tasty. Neither of us ate much, enjoying instead the surroundings filled with season decorations. This is one of my favorite season because of all the multi-colored lights that are displayed.
From the restaurant we went to visit an adult foster home for my mother. It came to my attention in a way that is very unusual after asking help from my angels. The angel wing clouds were still in the beautiful blue sky. I took my video camera along to record this for my sister who lives in Houston, TX and for my mother to see as she is house bound by her physical frailties.
The home was warm, friendly and everyone in there was happy. Part of the name of the home was Loving Hands. It lived up to it's name. It is my mother's wishes to stay on that side of the city and not be a burden on any of her children and maintain as much independence as possible. This met all our dreams and desires. The owner was decorating the house for the holidays while tending to her clients needs but took the time to answer all our guestions and show us how she kept records for each of the people who lived there.
Our next stop was my mother's home. She enjoyed the company and the conversations about her doll collections and all her memories. She enjoyed my friend and asked her to please come back again. This is what gave me such wonderful encouragement that now she realized you wanted to be around other people again.
I combined the video clips and it is uploading to my You Tube Channel for my sister to view at her leisure and the plan is to go back and see my mother next Sunday and my friend will bring her IPad and the video can be viewed by my mother. We both gave her a hug and a kiss when we left. The co-operation of everyone is the best part of the day. The love and respect of each other's wishes, even if we did not understand, was the goal and it was attained.
My mother likes angels and we surrounded her with the angel figurines in her area as a reminder that she is never alone. There were angel figurines at the foster home, and the sky was earlier filled with angel wing clouds. I am grateful for the angels that were doing what they do best, helping us when we call on them.
Love MomT
