I Had Such A Wonderful Weekend!! Wow!!

Tweet

It was so awesome!! Friday afternoon, I went to my parents place to return their vacuum that we had repaired for them and of course, mom was upset at how much we spent to have it repaired. She always is and is worried about never being able to repay us back which we keep reminding her that we're not expecting a thing back. Anyway, when I first got there, dad was outside and told me that mom was really sick. She had felt fine earlier in the day and had talked to a few people over the phone and all of the sudden, her energy just left her and went out of her feet, at least that's how it felt to her. She almost called 911 on herself, that's how bad and scared she was. When I first saw her, she had lost a lot of color in her face, she didn't look good at all. I had brought a CD of "A Note To God" for her to see but it wouldn't work on her computer. Oh I was so disappointed over that because I know she'll really love it! Oh well, she'll have to see here from my computer because she doesn't have the internet because all she can get is dial up and that's awfully slow so she gave it up. Some day, God willing, she'll have DSL by satellite because I'm going to eventually take on the cost of it for her so she can enjoy it once again and not just use her computer just for games. I had bought four games for her so I downloaded them however, I needed the internet to unlock them. *sigh. Dad came into the room and asked if I was staying for dinner and at first I had said no but I changed my mind because mom just didn't look good. When I had finished with the computer, I went to visit with mom in the living room where she was laying down and found her sitting up. She started to look much better and her color was coming back but she was dizzy as all get out. Dad was in the kitchen cooking. He's the cook these days since mom can't do it anymore. We talked and we laughed over dinner, it was such a wonderful time! Afterwards, dad started to clean up and I told him to go into the living room and watch some tv for it's been a while since he's had a break and I'd clean up for him. He was hesitant at first but a little nudge he complied. So while I was cleaning up, mom was sitting at the table wishing she could help me and I told her that it's just fine, just tell me where things go and sit pretty and talk to me. After I finished cleaning dinner up, mom and I had a nice long talk. It wasn't anything in particular but anything that came to mind. I told her how depressed I've been because I miss her smile and is why I've done as much as I've done because I want to see my mom smile again because I love her so much. Mom was so touched by that and then she gave me this all teeth fake smile and said there! Of course I had to laugh at her! She can be such a comic when she wants to be!! Anyway, we talked for about 2 hours or more about things that needed talking about and stories that we know and we both really enjoyed doing it! I wouldn't trade that night for any amount of money in this world!! It was just awesome!! I came home and was up till 5:30 am because I was so full of energy and so very happy that I couldn't sleep and when I finally did go to bed, I cried myself to sleep out of pure happiness!! I wish I could describe the feeling of such love and content, it's hard to put into words how I felt that night! Oh, and I had taken mom's computer home with me to work on it on Saturday which I did. I spent about 4 to 5 hours on her computer cleaning it up and updating several different things that hasn't been in a long time. Then mom called, she had just left church and asked if we wanted to meet them in town at a Chinese restaurant for dinner, of course I said yes because I've been wanting Chinese for a while now and was thinking of doing that so we did. Hubby and I stopped by the store to get some badly needed things for them before meeting them at the restaurant and after we ate, we went to their house to put mom's computer back together and brought in the little bit of groceries that we bought for them inside. Of course mom had another fit over that and I'm forever reminding her that if we didn't want to do it, we wouldn't. She so wants to be on the giving end and not be the receiver and I told her that she was at one time and now it's my turn. She just frowns but thanks us up one side back down the other for everything. She does appreciate everything it's just that she's not happy with herself and is having a terrible time accepting her limitations now. Mom is stubborn about that but she has no choice but to accept it because it's not going to change. Have any of you had such a weekend like that lately? I so enjoyed mine and hope it continues on the up and up!!
