So this past weekend my little family and I went to visit my mom and dad, Its not like it used to be, because this time I think more about how to hold the memories closer to my heart.
We got there at about 10ish in the morning on Saturday, mom had asked me to help her go though her linen closet to straighten it up, I never in a million years would have enjoyed that job but it was time with my mom. Her and I went to the grocery store to pick up a few things, and my mind kept thinking about how her and I did that together when i lived at home just 10 years ago. i miss those days and sometimes wish I could go back, but reality hits me and I know I can't, that's why they call them memories! I am so happy I have them, they often make me smile when all I want to do is cry.
Sunday mom made brunch and Rhiannon asked grandma if she could crack the eggs, moms ONLY responce to that was sure you can, she like always with her grand kids gets down to their level and shows them how to, she stood behind Rhiannon held her hands in hers and they hit the egg on the counter top and showed Rhiannon that you hold it over the bowl and squish it, The smile on moms face and the look on Rhiannon's face was one that was priceless, I wish I had a picture to show but......after brunch and a clean up mom and I were going though a few things from when I lived at home, craft things her and I were going to do but never got around to it, not really sure why. But I had fun going though that stuff that made both of us go " oh yeah, i remember when we were going to do that" and we both laugh.
I had a hard time seeing my dad, he has lost alot of weight and looks like he has aged 10years in just a month since the last time I had seen him. in the past I used to joke around and always wipe his sloppy kiss off my cheek, he also would joke around with a kiss on the cheek hello or good bye, Its not like that way anymore and Dad asked why I don't the only answer i had for him is " I want the kiss to keep" unfortunately he never herd me because his hearing is going. It was hard to fight the tears but I did not want him thinking I was falling apart, I did not want him to feel bad for me.
I enjoyed the time with mom and dad, i will hold this with me forever.
I love you mom and dad, more than you know. stay strong and fight because i need you.
