Up with the sun-time to begin another day. Time to work and earn a living...Even when you don’t feel like it.
Making her coffee just the way she likes it. Preparing her breakfast and handful of morning medications...Even when you don’t feel like it.
Washing dishes, cleaning the house. Doing the laundry and making the beds...Even when you don’t feel like it.
Stopping your workday to make her lunch and ensure she has everything she needs...Even when you don’t feel like it.
Walking, feeding, bathing the dogs...Even when you don’t feel like it.
Preparing dinner, cleaning up and getting things settled in for the evening...Even when you don’t feel like it.
Dressing changes and wound care. Managing the ever changing medications. Endlessly exhausting trips to the bathroom and helping her back into bed... E,ven when you don’t feel like it.
Grocery lists, grocery shopping. Target, Walmart and Sprouts...Even when you don’t feel like it.
Drying tears, easing melt-downs, gently comforting fears and grief... Even when you don’t feel like it.
Most days are so hard , all you want is ESPN, hot wings and some quiet time.
Instead, you say that one day, you will wish you could do these tasks for her just one more time.
So, weary as you are, you do it all... Even when you don’t feel like it.
Blessings
Mandy

ReplyDeleteYes Jay, the thought of a time you when you'd give anything to be doing these things,that you're now doing, is what makes it easier to keep on keeping on. The best feeling in the world is knowing you've done the best you could for the one you love. Continuing to keep both of you in my prayers. ♧
ReplyDeleteIt's called pure and undying love.
