My Mom 💕💜

May 27, 2020ladybug1654 Comments

This is the hardest post I have ever had to write. I started this blog 5 years ago when my mom was diagnosed with dementia and I started it to try and cope with it and to help others who might be going through the same thing. Well Saturday May 23, 2020 my moms journey with dementia ended. I’m happy she’s free again and she’s my my dad. But I miss her so. Because of the virus we can’t have a service for her to later. But I’m trying to make the best of it. I will continue this blog I really like writing and sharing. I wrote this poem just a few days before my mom passed away. I hope you like it and have a wonderful day! 😊

How can I say goodbye to the person

Who gave life to me my mother, my friend

My help my protector

The person who has been with me my entire life from birth to now.

I don’t want to say Goodbye mom I love you so much I wish I could feel your sweet touch again if only for a moment.

But I know you have to go so I’m not going to stop you But I will miss you so much and I will never forget you and you will always be in my heart

And I know one day I will see you again

Til that time make sure you tell dad I love him too and miss him and love him too !

Till we meet again My Sweet Mama! 💜

Like most of you I’m kind of stuck in my house. It really changes your perspective on life and how fragile it is. After this I will never take for granted anything. Like just going out to get groceries again. Now if you dare go out you have to wear a mask and gloves and when you get home you have to go right to the sink and wash your hands. It has taught me to value everything I have cuz it can be taken so quickly.

It’s very hard but it’s not as bad as some people who have lost their love ones to this terrible disease so I’m thankful to God for that. All my family are ok so I’m very thankful for that.

The hardest part of this whole thing has been not being able to see my mom. I haven’t seen her since March 9th and its been very difficult. I’ve video chatted and talked with her on the phone but that’s not the same as actually seeing her. I miss her so and I miss my dad too who passed away last October. I’m trying to get through all of this like all of you.

I hope you are all safe and secure and I hope this comes to a end soon. For now that’s all be thankful for everyday that God gives us and never take life for granted again.

Take Care. Love to you all.

I am a dementia daughter

My mom has dementia and I am her

Daughter

Even though she doesn’t know it

It’s been a journey like no other

I wouldn’t wish it on anyone

To see your own mom getting

Worse and worse by the day.

And all you can do is sit back and watch

Her fade away

More and more

It tares your heart out to see the one

Who you always depended on change

So severely you don’t even know

Who they are anymore that nothing they says

Makes any sense at all just like a two year old just gibberish

It’s devastating enough to take

Your breath away!

All you want to do is scream cry til you can’t anymore

And all you want is to stop and let you off this

Rollercoaster that you’ve been on for

So long!

That’s a dementia daughter!

Forgotten ones

February 14, 2020ladybug1651 Comment

I wrote this poem. My mom is in a nursing home and I visit with her quite often. When I visit the people there look so sad because hardly any of their family visits them. Have a great day!

Forgotten ones

These are the people

That need us the most

They are our fathers, mothers

Sisters, brothers

But they have been placed

Like they were erased

Nobody comes to

Visit them.

You can see it on their face

The loneliness and pain

All they want is for someone

To love them and to show

Them they care.

All they might need is a smile.

These are the forgotten ones.

Pieces

I wrote this poem. My dad passed away about 3 months ago and it’s been very difficult on me. My moms in a nursing home and I can go visit her but it’s not the same anymore. I’m trying my best for her so it helps me to write and share. I hope you like it. Have a great day.😊

How do I pick up

The broken pieces

To my heart

It’s shattered in a million pieces.

I don’t know where to start

My dad is gone now and

My mom has no mind

Left to even know who I am

It’s very hard to understand

All the things that are important

To hug and tell the people that you love

How you feel!

All you can do is try and go on

Without them.

My dads been gone two months today! I still miss him very much. It still doesn’t seem possible to me that he’s gone but he is and I got to get used of it ! This Christmas will be very hard cuz this will be my first Christmas without my dad. My mom is in the nursing home and she can’t come out because her health isn’t that good so it’s going to be a very different day for me! Cherish all your loved ones cuz you never know how long they will be here. I wrote this poem. I hope you all have Happy Holidays! Thank you for reading my blog!

There will be one

Less chair

This year even

When there’s cheer!

It won’t be the same

Without you!

It will never be the

Same again!

We will try and go on

Without you!

But it will be blue

No matter what we do!

We all miss you so

Much!

And wish we could have

Just one more touch

With you!

My sweet dad!

I’m very sorry to tell you but I’m dad passed away on October 13th! I miss him everyday and it’s very hard. These past few weeks have been a roller coaster ride but I made it through. My mom is still hanging on she’s now in a nursing home and I go visit her just about every day! I’m so thankful that I got to spend a lot of time with my dad and my mom as I did. I miss him very much and I wrote this poem.

How do I say good bye

To a guy

Who has been with me my

Whole life?

The guy who helped me ride my bike

Drive a car for the first time

The guy who walked me into school

For the very first time

My dad

He’s gone now and it’s so hard

To understand it all

I got to try and get by

I love him so much and I

Wish I would of told him

Cuz now it’s to late to tell him

All the things I should of

He will live in my heart forever

My dad! ❤️💕

The Fall

September 24, 2019December 3, 2020ladybug1653 Comments

I haven’t been on here much so I thought I would come on and tell you how things are going. I love the fall it’s my favorite time of year the air starts getting crisp and the leaves start changing! My mom is not doing to good. It’s a daily struggle to try and take care of her. It is a very challenging thing for sure but Iv been trying my very best. That’s all I can do right now. Please if you could say a short prayer for my family because it’s very hard. I appreciate it so much! Have a wonderful day and enjoy all you can ! 😊🌈

I wrote this poem. My days are filled with many emotions. My moms dementia is progressing very rapidly and it’s very hard to bare it all ! So writing helps me. I hope you like it and have a wonderful day! 😊

Sometimes I feel

Like my moms

Guardian angel!

I was sent here

To take care of her in

Her time of need!

I don’t have wings to fly!

But I’m there for her

Whenever!

She needs it

I wouldn’t want it any other way

I would do it all over again

And be my Mom’s

Guardian Angel 😇😊❤️🌈

Anniversary

My parents celebrated their 60th Anniversary yesterday. I’m so thankful for that they stayed together through everything. Some days are better than others but we do our best. It can be a challenge at times. I wrote this poem I hope you like it. Have a great day! 😊

It’s been 60 years

Since my parents said I do

They love each other and

Through it all

Their still together.

Even through the

Tough days!

I’m so thankful

For that!

They never gave up

No matter what came

Their way and to me

That is such a special gift

You could give

Someone that

You love.
