The Gift

I walked into her room; there was a little tiny person in this big bed.
She was so agitated, and her tremors, the worst I had ever seen.
The nurse said she had just had a bowel extraction, and was in a lot of pain.
They were going to bring her some pain killers.
She was trying to get out of bed.
Trying to sit-up and was getting angry.

I was trying to settle her down, rubbing her head, holding her hands,
She was not settling down.
Pain killers arrived.
10 minutes later; no difference.

She lifted both her hands and pushed me away.
I started to cry and told the nurse that maybe I was agitating her and I should go.
The nurse said no, that Mom was in pain.

Morphine arrived.
10 minutes later she was getting better, so I prayed over her and asked God to help her with her confusion, her pain, and her agitation.

Then I held her hand some more and talked.
I was rubbing her face and head... that seemed to work for her.

Then she lifted her hand up and placed it on my cheek,
her eyes opened, and she said
“I love you”

My Mom had not recognized me for 5 years.

That was a gift from God. I praised him!! God is good..

Mom had difficulties in saying... I love you.
When I said "I love you Mom", she would always say "me too".


My Mom suffered from Alzheimers for almost 15 years.
Four months later on July 16, 2006... The Lord took her to be with him.

No matter the situation... God can do miracles.
