I made mom laugh!

Your mom sounds like she was doing a little bit better that day! It is great that you could make her laugh. Sometimes that is the best thing for a person. It is also great that she asked where you went. That shows that she at least knows what is going on around her. I'll bet it made you feel really good!

Good for u, Elic. I know that made your day to do that. I'm sorry she is not as well.

Your mom is very fortunate to have your regular company at the health care center. I am sure that making her laugh was good for both of you. I know we always want to make things better for our family any way that we can.

Always good to make someone laugh so glad you managed that for your mom!

To quote an old saying; "Laughter IS, the best medicine." Get some sleep...both of you! Cheers; cdrxo

I am so glad that you brought a smile to your mum’s face! It can make all the difference! It is so nice that you make the effort to spend time with her. I am sure that is difficult at times to see her unwell but I am certain your presence makes all the difference especially if you make her smile!

Sometimes it takes so little to reap so much. Not only did you make your mom laugh, her laughter cheered you, too. Hold that pleasant memory close.

Hi ElicBxn, I am sure your mum appreciated your vist and the laugh you gave her, laughter is a great medicine. Nice that you get to spend time with your mum. Huggles. Ellie :D

hi ElicBxn I am so glad that just sounds wonderful. You mom is responding to you and yes of course laughter is so great. Yes of course you will take what you can get. I am so excited tonight myself, have to share good news after a year and a half my son has got a job and it was with a friend back years when he worked with this friend for a company making Life Cycle exercise equipment. He heard Robbie was out of work and he hired him and gave him a cash advance., I am so glad its hard to describe how elated I am.My son looked like a different person tonight when he came to see me and'I feel renewed myself.

Better than nothing, I guess, but why not both take a nap?

I know exactly how you're feeling, Elic. I'm glad you could make your mother laugh and, in return, get such a good feeling from it. When my mother was diagnosed with terminal cancer that had already spread to her brain, I had to put her in a nursing facility. When I was there, she would cling to me. At night, I was told that she hung on to the curtain around her bed like her life depended on it. That made me sad so I went out and bought her a big, stuffed bunny rabbit (Easter was coming). She LOVED that bunny! I never saw it out of her hands, at least until I got there, then she wanted me to sit on the side of the bed while she held onto me. But, that smile on her face when I gave her the bunny was priceless. It made me feel good that I could make her happy, even if just a little, in her last days. I actually held on to that bunny after my mother didn't need it anymore. I had it here for almost three years before I finally realized that maybe someone else could get as much happiness out of it as my mother did so I donated it to charity. I miss my mother but I'll always remember her face when I gave her that bunny. She loved it.

It's great you are trying to make your happy even a bit helps when she isn't feeling well. My mom isn't doing well either...but, I try helping her as well as making her smile. She mainly laughs at my cooking D;(my cooking is not the best, but not the worst either).

Someone who actually managed to get to a Health Centre!!!!! In my doc's surgery, it's easier to get an audienace with the Pope. Unless you have one foot in the grave no one wants to know!!! And probably not even then. Last year, 2 wks before I went on holiday, I suddenly started seeing black spots in front of my right eye. I rang my surgery, who now want you to describe what you think you've got, then someone rings you back to see if it's worth you wasting the doctor's time. I was told that "it was probably nothing and that if I was worried I should go and stick my arm in the blood pressure machine in reception". Me, who has a history of low blood pressure. So I went to see my optician. He said I had "floaters". So off I went on holiday. 2nd dday in Greece, in a lovely hired villa, I get off the sunbed and find that I cant see well with my right eye, I thought I had a migraine, as the sun is a trigger. I soldiered on, went on the boat trip the next day, but the eye got worse. Next day I went to the medical centre there, who told me to go and see an eye surgeon. And guess what?????? I had a detached retina. Because by then the tear was quite large, I was told to just lie down, watch tv and get some sun, not lift, not bend down, well, I packed my suitcase that evening. My friend got quite upset as she relied on me for driving round so her holiday was ruined as well. When I returned to the UK I had an eye operation followed by laser and my eyesight will never be the same again in that eye, even if I put a telescope in front of it. So, because of the non caring attitude shown by people who should know better, my eye sight is bad in that eye and if it wasnt for the other eye, I would not even be able to drive. Thank you, NOT, British Health service.

I am glad that you brought a smile to your mom's face,i am sure that your mom really appreciated your visit and the laugh you gave her, laughter is a great medicine. It is nice to spend your enough time with your mom. Don't let your mom to feel sad,all time keep your mom to simile.

That is sweet. It is true that sometimes you have to take what you can get. Be sure to treasures those golden moments and not worry too much about the others. We are all here for such a short time. Make the most of that time.
