As we deal with ladies who are older one thing I try to always keep in mind is that she is someone's mother. Today I had to tell two sons that their mom was closing to passing away. She is in her mid 90s. This is not an easy conversation by any means. But it went well with both of her sons.
She has been under my care for the last year. I have always remembered that she was someone's mother. She had such a kind hearted way about her. She always appreciated when I helped her out. I enjoyed her company very much. So, when today when I had the opportunity to speak with her sons I felt very comfortable with this even though it is hard. It's only hard when you are telling them that their mom's time is very, very short indeed.
Guys, I know I talk about somethings on here that are serious in nature. But there is good reason for it when I do. That lady could be your mom. I want to treat that lady just like she is my own mom. I want her to feel safe, cared for and comfortable as she can be. There was no greater feeling than we I helped this lady get into her recliner. As I lowered her into her favorite recliner I would hold her and gently lower her into her into it. I would talk to her the whole time reassuring her that I had her and that she was going to be all right. The look of relief on here face was always great to see. She would always thank me and tell me I was so nice to her. That really meant a lot..
Today, she still recognized me and my voice. To see her relax, and know that I was there for her was great. My voice is remarkably similar to Josh Turner, so I stand out in a sea of ladies who typically care for her. It was an honor and privilege to take care of that lady for the past year. I told both of her sons that as well. She could be your mom. She could be my mom. How would I want my mother to be cared for?? I try very, very hard to treat all of those ladies and men in my care like they are my own.
We all have mothers. And yes we are all grown men. But, one thing can get to any man's heart is what's going on with their mother, how she is feeling, is she in pain, is she uncomfortable, is she safe etc. And sometimes... It is good to be serious. When it comes to someone's mom is a great time to be just that. I hope you all have a good day today guys. And if you haven't called or seen your mom lately... Today would be a good day to do just that.
