I continue to watch, ponder and wonder about my role as an adult “daughter”, a title I am blessed to wear. As I drove my aging parents to Mass Saturday night I had flashbacks of my childhood memories of my dad taking me to church. And I thought… One more life situation going in full circle.
Caring for my parents has been a privilege, not always easy, but always a blessing! Giving back to the same people who first loved you truly is easy to do. Which of course had me wondering… loving those who are not so easy to love, is truly a gift to give someone. I had the privilege to experience that for a number of years with my great uncle. That kind of love comes from something beyond ourselves and we are all capable of experiencing it, (if we allow ourselves to).
As I sat at Mass with my parents on a Saturday night, I found myself being present to the moment of being with my mom and dad, knowing every second at this age is a gift for all of us…
I’ve had the joy of watching my daughter “Love” on her son George. And I have had the privilege to “Love” on my father George… Elderly Parents, there’s nothing like loving them daily…
Love someone today no matter how difficult it may seem…
God will see you through!
