Journal Entry for February 18, 2008 Mood
Monday, February 18, 2008
My daughter and me went to see my mom at the nursing home today.  She has a feeding tube in, is paralyzed on one side of her body.  Can't understand what she says most of the time.  It is very frustrating for us both.   I wish she didn't have to suffer.  She said she wanted to die.  She has given up.  She refuses to do anything to help herself, but she has been that way all my life.  I pray for God to make her suffering end.  I know she is in a living hell and asks me to save her, but there is nothing I can do.  It is tearing me up cuz I love her so much.  Maybe tomorrow will be a better day.  At least the sun was out today. All for now.
