I Hope You Fell Better

I asked her how she was doing today. She told me she had to use a tissue for just one tear for the first time since all this happened. I'm not sure I could be that strong. My mom fell off a beam in the attic, went through the ceiling and landed down onto the concrete garage floor. She has always handled situations with a strength and humor that amaze me. This time is no different.

We've already talked about the "What could have happeneds.." and the "Thank goodnesses.." In the whole grand scheme of things, a double compound fracture and being immobile for a bit is minor in the whole bigger picture of it all. We'll take it. And she knows that she will come out on the other side of all this with a story that is a bit more "exciting". These are the kind of moments that truly keep you on your toes and remind you how quickly life can change- whether big or small- along the way. These are the phone calls that we are all bound to get. The ones that leave a pit in our stomachs and shatter our hearts a bit out of fear. I want to be sure I am doing my best to prepare, even when I know you can't necessarily prepare for the unknown. I'm just happy I have my mom here fully with me today.

My mom doesn't sit still well but for right now, she will have to do so. For anyone who knows my mom- the thing she loves most is laughing. If you have any funny memes, jokes, sayings or anything that might bring along a giggle, send them my way. Although I’m not sure anyone will make her laugh more than Declan’s innocent grammatical error in the card he made for her.

Laughter truly is the best medicine. ❤
