I went to the hospital again tonight with some friends and just hung out with Mom. I read a little bit and we talked while Mom slept. I spent about 2 or 3 hours there and then we got burgermaster. I feel a little bit better now.
I'm optimistic but it is tinted with doubt. I know she is strong but her brain has physical damage. I think she will make it but the uncertainty of losing her I felt on the night of the accident is back.

Scott,
ReplyDeletei understand where your coming from. And i can't say i know how you feel or where your coming from. But i do know that your mom is a very strong woman, and that she hasn't made it this far to just give up. Keep thinking positive, she will pull through, i know she will. :)
I'm really glad that i had the chance to visit your mom with you tonight! if you ever need me there again im just a phone call away.
I love you!
i ment to say: or what your going through. Not...where your coming from!

Hi Scott, You are such a good writer to be able to share your pain and personal reactions to this tragic situation. You really touched me when you mentioned how you wish you could just go back to normal. I know some people write about fate and God's will, but I do not personally think that our loving God caused any of this. I think a person made a horrible and selfish decision to drink and drive and caused this terrible accident. Now we need to turn to God for the strength and understanding to help get through this dark time because otherwise you could go crazy thinking about how unfair this all is. It sounds like your mom knows you are with her physically and spiritually and she finds comfort in that. Again, I am so sorry that your entire family has to go through this, especially at this special time in your life when the focus is supposed to be on your future...stay strong. You are fortunate to have such a large and supportive circle of friends and family. Barbara Nordin
ReplyDeleteScott - I can't imagine how difficult this is for you, your dad and the rest of your family. Words just can't express how much empathy is felt for you. Please keep your hope alive for your mom. She is an incredible strong person and I've learned these past days what a fighter she is.
ReplyDeleteI'm bringing you guys dinner tomorrow evening. It'll be on your porch. And, rest assured, there won't be any nuts in anything. I hope this small gesture will provide an opportunity for you and your dad to take a small nourishment break for yourselves. I wish there was more I could do to help. Dianne Larsen
