It seems that all I blog about are my "new" children: mom & dad. They are at a minimum my new part time job. I would rather think on them as my children though because I love them so much and they need the protection that can only come from a parent. This past Sunday morning at 3 am we got a phone call that dad had fallen and was being transported to the emergency room for evaluation. Nothing broken, PTL, and he couldn't even remember why he was there once DH and I arrived at the hospital. After xrays, blood work, and an MRI to check on his benign brain tumor, he was good to go back to his new "home."
Mom was left behind and when we went to their room to get dad's clothes (we were bringing him back to save the outrageous ambulance charges) she fell into DH's arms and cried like a little baby. Our hearts leaped out of our chests as we hugged her together, and DH talked to her soothingly about how everything was going to be okay, that dad was coming home. I stayed with her while DH went back to the hospital with dad's clothes, and we talked about what happened to make him fall except that she couldn't remember, couldn't paint a very good picture.
She was eating breakfast when DH and dad arrived in the Day Room at the nursing home. His food was saved for him so he didn't miss out on eating a good meal. We left them munching toast and scrambled eggs. I wanted to go to the 11:15 am service at church since I missed earlier services but when we finally got home to our chairs we both fell fast asleep, waking up at 2pm! These children sure take alot out of us parents, don't they?
The title of this blog entry, "Free Falling" is how I now feel and it's meant in a good way. There was a song called "Free Falling" back in the day, but I can't tell you more than that, except I can hear it my head right now. I place my trust in God that each day will be done by His will not mine. I pray that everything I say during each day reveals Him living inside me too. It's all about God, not me, and this knowledge makes me feel so FREE. Each day I think, "Well, dear Lord what is in store for me? What will You have me do today, dear Lord?" It Frees my soul and mind. I love it!
