Allowing that my mother’s mess wa...Thanks Jordan! <br /><br />Allowing that my mother’s mess was going to be passed on to me was a gift I gave her knowingly when I visited her in the summer of 2009. I arrived with a plan to get her into assisted living. Instead, I “dropped off” because it became apparent that it would cause her too much psychological distress and would damage the relationship I had with her.<br /><br />It might be the best gift I ever gave her. It allowed her to relax during my visit, and to be with her friends and enjoy her photography and gardening during the last years of her life. <br /><br />So maybe it’s not that much of a mess after all. I knew at the time my gift was bought “on credit.” The only thing I find myself sad about is that the payment of it came due at this time in my life. So it goes...<br /><br />May we all be blessed with ability to face and accept our messes, and with the flexibility, vision and patience to do what needs to be done for ourselves and each other.<br /><br />Good morning! <br />真行 https://www.blogger.com/profile/09275768134243230516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-619851895994016888.post-40184165671082215142012-11-07T03:53:13.493-06:002012-11-07T03:53:13.493-06:00Maybe we are all that mess.
