Mother love 2006
I dropped in at Mum’s nursing home room on the way home from
work as usual.
I had brought some orchids in pots to replace the ones that
had lost their flowers.
It had been a very busy day and I’d yawned all the way there
in the car. It was all I could do to keep my eyes open while we chatted. Normally
we chat for an hour or two but today I was tired. The room was warm.
Mum said “Why don’t you lie down in my recliner chair and
have a nap dear, I’ll read my book.”
So I did. When I opened my eyes half an hour later she was smiling
at me. Her book was untouched. She had been watching me sleep.
It is amazing to be loved like that.
