TAKE CARE OF MY MOTHER UNTIL SHE NEEDS ME NO MORE (read all 18 entries…)
A weekend in Atlanta 14 months ago

I flew with Mom to Atlanta last Friday to be present in my niece bridal shower, who is getting married the last week of December. My sister was busy and she couldn’t pick us up at the airport, therefore, we had to take the Marta. At the beginning Mom was a bit scared but as soon she get into the train and saw a lot of people she was happier.

In each station she was asking me are we home yet? You had to see how happy she was when she finally arrived to the destination point.

Mom and her grand-daughter who is getting married.

Mom at my sister house, happy and ready for dinner.

After the bridal shower I went to New Orleans to visit my hippie friend and came back to Salt Lake only this morning. Mom is staying in Atlanta for a week and in the “event” that she get “bored”, I will have to go back to bring her home this Wednesday :| Now, Paj is really tired, sleepy and ready to hit the sack quite soon because tomorrow is her Monday….lazy Monday.

i love my mum

Hi Pajodama :-)

Thanks you for sharing.

Your story and pictures made me a little jealous…
i wish i could spend some one on one time with my mum, she is a long way away and i miss her so much…. she can also be very stubborn :-)

She is also beautiful, strong and courageous and very hardy!

She has led an incredible life… i still have so much to learn from her (she is 83). Despite a triple by-pass operation (just to name one of the majour surgeries her tough little body has withstood) she is still smoking, still tough and totally “with it”. She and will probably outlive me!

I will always be proud to say that she is MY mum!

We are very lucky, i think, to have been raised by such wonderful women.

Yes,

I do agree with you, it is not easy taking care of aging parents they are so stubborn but it is a challenge to my patience when I have to repeat over and over again the same answer to a simple question. There are some hilarious moments, too :)
