If one day you feel like just crying.
Call me…
I can’t promise that I will make you laugh.
But I can cry with you.
If one day you want to just run away.
Don’t be afraid to call me.
I can’t promise that I will ask you to stop.
But I can run away with you.
If one day you just don’t want to listen to anyone
Call me…
I promise to be there for you.
And I promise to be very quite.
But if one day you call me…
And there is no answer.
Come fast to see me.
Perhaps I need you.
When I read this quote I thought about my dear mom. There
were some days this past semester when I would call her with tears and all she
would have to say is…
“Hang in there my Lindsey Girl”
My mom holds the title of being my Very Best Friend. She and I have become very close and it seems
that with the years, we only become closer and closer. This quote is very much
our relationship when I am up at school. She is always just a phone call away.
This past week I was up in Colorado with all my extended family members
for a family reunion. It was super fun and so nice seeing everyone. The person
I was the most excited to spend time with though was my sweet grandma. My mom’s
mom and I are really close. In the past 2 years she’s had many surgeries that
help her to hang on. It’s been sad seeing her slowly holding on. I know it’s
been very hard for her.
Three weeks ago, my family was given a scare when my grandma
was rushed into the hospital and she was attached to machines to keep her
breathing. They said that if she didn’t respond in 24 hours they would pull the
cord and she would leave us.
As I have watched my Grandmas illness affect my mom, I am more
grateful for the time I have with my mom. I couldn’t imagine my life with out
my mom just as my mom can’t imagine life without her mother. No one fills the
spot of a mother.
There will be that day when my mom calls me and I will say
to her…
“Hang in there mom”
Today, tell your mom you love her while you still can.
I’m sure she would love a phone call just telling her how
much you appreciate her.
