Guest guest Posted October 28, 2005 Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 that is a beautiful experience to share with us, one i know you will be treasuring for a long itme, just like our last time with dad was him singing happy birthday to donnie, hugs sharon -- Mom and Braids Hi All, I went in this evening to take care of mom and sit with her for a while. Mom still isn't talking but she did have her eyes wide open. I was looking all over her body for the estrogen patch but couldn't find one. Finally tracked down the nurse and got another one put on - I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this will help mom big time. Since mom was awake and I ran out of things to say I suddenly found myself up on my feet making braids on either side of mom's head as she lay down in bed. I couldn't help laughing my head off as I positioned the braids in the 9 and 3 oclock positions. I told mom that she now looked like a little girl or an Indian princess. Mom was also smiling because I was laughing. I left the room for a bit and joking said to mom when I came back in " have you taken apart your braid " and mom, who finally spoke for the first time in 1 1/2 weeks and said " no " . She then let out a big sigh and fell asleep. A nice night after so many sad ones. Courage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 28, 2005 Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 It is so nice to have moment's to remember in the sad times, memories that come to us just when we need something to lift us up. My Harv is so out of it that rarely do I get a smile, but when I do it is so good for my heart.

Guest guest Posted October 28, 2005 Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 Courage, What a wonderful and beautiful gesture that was on your part and an experience you won't forget. I know how IU would feel if someone was to braid my hair. I used to do it myself, but am no longer able. For me it would be an expression of love...Hugs...Patti > > Hi All, > > I went in this evening to take care of mom and sit with her for a > while.
