Today was a wonderful day of caregiving for my Mom. We got up early, I got her in the shower and set her hair. We chose her best dress, put on some makeup and got ready to go to her granddaughter’s wedding. Mom said that she didn’t really feel “up to it”, but I encouraged her that it would be okay. She was nervous about being seated in the front row because she “didn’t want to draw attention”. All of that went out the window as soon as she got there. She was the center of attention, but in a wonderful way. My brother was so proud to “walk” her down the aisle. When the bride saw her grandma, her eyes just lit up.
It was a perfect day, and a perfect wedding. Mom has good days and bad days, and today was one of the best days, both physically and mentally, in a very long time. I’m so glad that it all worked out so well.
