[QUOTE="Sam3, post: 723156, member: 19290"] Meaning do I have a deep sense of peace? I have seeds of it germinating. I helped care for my father. He was in bed for four years. My mom was a little bitty thing and he never got a bedsore. In the end stages, it was an all hands effort so he could live his remaining days at home. From that, there is a seed. There is a seed from being my moms caregiver for the last 10 years, since her stroke. She resumed many of her daily incidents of life after the first year, but she can’t speak, so I am her voice. For these things, yes, I think I’ve sewed a sense of peace. Obviously, the efforts were never going to save my dad or restore my mom’s abilities and voice. But I do have an appreciation of life and of what I am made of. I know our efforts for our children are the exact same stuff. It’s just hard to feel our seed germinating when we are praying for them to blossom. [/QUOTE]
