She wrote;
“Mommy was crying, and I put her in my lap and started rocking her. She calmed down right away. There is no right or wrong way to walk this journey. I'm doing it the best way I know how, and that's through honouring my mom.
"While the days may be long and hard, my eyes are always focused on the end. As each stage creeps in, I'm reminded of how the tables have turned, and I have become what I once needed from her comfort, safety, patience, provision, and, most importantly, love.
"I watched Mommy take care of so many others, and as I hold her in this state, it is a gentle reminder that it's her time. And every day, I pray that God will give me the endurance to continue to run this race well until the end.
"May I serve and honour her well, so at the end of the day, I can honour Him. Life isn't easy and, at times, unfair, but while I'm able, I will do the work with joy as I lean on the Lord for strength.
"Whatever stage you're in (caregiving and life), may you be filled with joy, peace, and love this holiday season. Keep your eyes on the most incredible gift this season has to offer.”
