Signs That My Mommy Has Gone Home

• Last night all of the animals slept with me again.  The cats, betrayers, had been sleeping downstairs with her.  Needy in particular has formed a particular bond with her over the last few trips and now spends most of her visits on her lap, which is good for him and her.
• There was no coffee this morning.  I became so used to having her make it and have it ready for me that to my dismay I couldn’t figure out why there was no coffee when I was ready to start getting ready for the day. :(  I guess I’m going to have to start using one of those timers and set it up so it’s ready when I wake up.  She spoiled me.
• I had to walk my own dog.  O.K.  I like walking my dog, but I had forgotten how much he likes to dawdle and how much this cuts into my warm shower time.
• There wasn’t a real person to talk to this morning, just the animals.  They don’t actually talk back and they don’t remind me to grab my lunch or the financial papers I need to bring to show the loan broker.  However, they also don’t sit in silent judgement of my not making my bed.
• I fell asleep on the sofa last night and in a weird position.  My Mom would not have let me do that.  She would have made me take my medicine and go to bed.
• I loved having my Mommy here; I wanted to ask her to stay particularly after the ER trip, but I know she has to get back to her life.

   Oh how I can relate. My mother has been dead 20 years yet there are times I wake at night from deep sleep and think now which bedroom is my mother in. Still thinking she is visiting me while in that half asleep state. Enjoy every visit while you can.
