My Beautiful Mom battled Alzheimer's for 4 years, She lived with me and as hard as it was at times taking care of her if I had it to do all over again I would do it in a heart beat.
You were my mother and my friend, Which was unusual. Somehow our characters still blend: Your wisdom and my will. I turned, and you were there for me; I spoke, you understood. I felt cared for, but also free; You loved, and I was good. I'm fortunate that I was born To someone just like you; I love you still. Though you are gone, You live in what I do.
Would I do it all over again ?
In a heartbeat I would do it again Nothing can take away from me what I did then I did the best that I could....I gave it my all And now I can hold up my head ....and forever stand TALL I couldn't, I wouldn't change what I did for YOU It was done out of LOVE not out of some due! If you had stayed here for a thousand years It would have been worth all of the tears You taught me lessons throughout my life Ones I used when you were going through the strife You showed me well the meaning of LOVE Unconditional LOVE which came from above You raised me with your love and let me fly free and then I returned when you needed me You continued to teach me when you weren't even aware That the greatest lessons you were yet to share For in your dying you gave to me a compassion that I alone never would see had I not taken you under my care giving it my all with nothing to spare Would I do it all over again or would I flee I would not, could not change it you see To LOVE you and comfort you in your time of need Was not a great task...I was only returning the seed The seed you planted as you guided me along Back in the days when YOU were strong! It was only natural to return the LOVE Not a chore but an honor imparted by the one above!
