The hiatus is over...26/30 of gratefulness
I´m grateful for being back at home. Oh, it was a great time with my mom and the rest of my family but it was also straining at times.
I was so happy to finally take my mom in my arms after her surgery (and she has to face another one). Fortunately, I could spoil her a bit and relieve her of housework, cooking a.s.o. she actually gained some weight.
On the other hand she was very touchy and I had to measure every word I said especially when it came to my brother. For her he is quite "untouchable" and I had to bite my tongue a few times not to upset her. But one or two times I couldn´t stop myself and she reacted with tears and pessimism about everything and life in special.
The same was with the laptop I brought along. She didn´t like it to see me working on it and always found something to do for me when I uploaded it, mostly outside the apartment.
I know she is going through rough times and I understand her, I tried to cater to her needs in every way possible, but it´s also a mother - daughter thing. You know, once a kid always a kid no matter if you´re 4 or 42 and I´m only human.
I do love her, I care for her and I´m worrying about her but it´s good to be here again. And if she needs me again I´ll be there for her in a blink.
I´m grateful for having my own PC again so I can finish my story I´m currently working on.
That´s it for now, I have work to do :-)
Oh, I almost forgot, I´m grateful for boubabe14 who told me to breathe. It worked :-)
Stay aware of the good things around you! I missed you all!
Love and Hugs, Heike
