I realized this morning as I was walking back to the outpatient clinic surgery room with Mom and Dad just how helpless I felt. I watched them walking arm in arm, with their halting steps, yet supporting each other as best they could...and I about how weak they both were physically, but yet how solid is their relationship with each other. Yes, I was able to help Mom undress and get ready for the day, but I cannot take either one of their afflictions away or even help make them better...
All I could do was be there if either one of them needed me for anything. What a blessing it must be for them to have unshakable assurance in each other's love-no matter what!

Amen and amen to everything you said.
I only wish I could have been there. I realized how helpless I feel now being so many miles away. I do enjoy my daily telephone conversations, but it's not the same thing as being able to physically see or touch them or stop by their home.
