I lived a lifetime.
Today I sit alone.
I lived a lifetime.
Today I sit alone.
My yesterdays were filled with caring for my family, having lunch with friends, going to work, & cooking
dinner.
​
One night I went to sleep; young and vibrant, only to wake up to see a stranger looking back at me in the bathroom mirror. My heart sank.
My soul was yelling out "No! that's not me, that's my Mom!", but one quick glance into the mirror confirmed the truth. Time had passed and I had been too busy to notice.
​
I had become a senior with all
the bells and whistles that we
are awarded when we reach a
certain age, wrinkles too deep
for any filler, hair that thinks it
belongs in my brush rather than
on my head and arm muscles that
could act as wind sails.
​
My children are now adults and
busy with their own lives. They
are too busy to call or visit.
I understand.
Most of my friends are gone now. Days that once flew by, now move in ultra slow motion.
Today is identical to all my yesterdays. My smiles have left me.
We call. We care. We Help.
