Time out, please

Dear God -

You've shown me that I have enough shoulder strength here lately.

I think you need a time out.

Possibly because I pray to you each second of every day here lately, and also, because you have shown me I've enough to handle.

The day after my mother's Birthday, really?  We have to put her cat to peace?  And she cannot remember where the cat is.  I run through this in my head & my heart and I can only find the words she would say to me in hers - she was hurting honey, she didn't need anymore of this life.  She had a lovely world.   She had to go to feel better.  She is our guardian angel now and she shines over us like a shooting star.

For the next several days I will need to repeat the above paragraph in different tones, and with large love & patience, as my mother has Alzheimer's with a twist of Parkinson's

I love my mother more than I can explain.  And each moment we have together is a blessing.  But we could use some peace right now, Mr. God.  A lot of it.

Love,

Mary Lee's daughter
