I Love My Mom

I'm losing her so slowly, so painfully...

But I never would have known what an amazing woman she is/was if not for this time.

I wouldn't know what an amazing woman I am either.

Mom, I love you x infinity + all the stars in the sky.

What happened to her

Paintedfox · 36-40, F

@darkknightt She has Parkinson's and rapidly developed Dementia with Psychosis. She is in a nursing home now, but every few weeks she's in the hospital with an infection. Some days she still knows who I am, which hurts even more. To hear her sound just a little like herself... But she is in so much pain, she can't walk or feed herself and mostly she is worried and upset. She was a single Mom, just her and I, so she was my world. She was so kind, beautiful, artistic and free spirited. She told me a million times if she was ever in a nursing home she'd kill herself. Some days I hold her hand while she wishes to die. Because it's so expensive, they're taking everything, maybe even my house since it's half in her name. It is a mess and I'm not worrying about any of it, just spending as much time with her as I can handle. All my art is about her, everything is dedicated to her. It sucks.

@Paintedfox am so sorry to hear about it. She is in pain and you do care for her so much. Speaks a lot about your upbringing

@darkknightt Thank you friend. She was an incredible person, I don't understand why she has to suffer, but I will be there with her no matter what.

@Paintedfox yes you should be. You are very kind, your mom is lucky to have a daughter like you
