PARENTS....

As I have mentioned before my mother is not been well and has been placed in a nursing home. My father is having a very hard time with this because she has been his partner for 68 years. They will celebrate their 65th wedding anniversary in September of 2010. He really doesn't care for the male Nurse or nurses aide to be caring for my mother when she has to be taken care of or toileted. He is the only man that has ever seen her in a state of undressed and he should be the only on the is going to. So when she needs cleaning he gets very nervous when the male nurses aide comes in. There are times when I really believe that he sees her as that young women he feel in love with 68 years-ago. She had fallen once and I flew home to help take care of her, while I was bathing her he came in the room and said "Mommy has the cutest but I have ever seen." he was around 80 at that time.

Well my dad took a pretty bad fall last Monday, he went to the hospital to make sure he didn’t break something. He got 8 stitches on the bridge of his nose, broke his glasses, is missing the tip of his nose and has road rash from his top lip to his forehead. Yes, I know I didn’t mention he landed on his face when he went down. He got an infection in his face and was put into the hospital on Wednesday where he was put on IV antibiotics for this fast moving very dangerous infection. Since he went in he has been having problems with his heart. He stops breathing and his heart rate goes down in the 40's. He is telling everyone that he has died and there was no one there to greet him so he knew he had to come back for "Mommy" the wife that he has loved for so many years.

I really believe that my parents bodies are ready to die, but my parents spirits/souls don’t want to go without the other.

I love you Mom and Dad and when you go I will see you again because it is just the beginning of you next phase of your souls travels.
