  3. absolutely beautiful.
    I remember seeing a video awhile back, of a father who was holding his newborn in the NICU.
    The father started singing a worship song, and the newborns hands raised as though he was praising too.

  6. My mother is 88 years old. She fell and broke her leg in Dec 2021. The cops came to my door to let me know. I immediately went to take care of my dad, who had Alzheimers. I helped them out and still help mom out, dad passed in Dec 2023.
    My point-I took mom to her doctor last week. She was telling the doctor about her fall & injury. She stopped and said, gesturing to me, she is my saviour.
    My mom is not a demonstrative person. I always knew she loved me, my husband, my siblings and their families, & etc, but this was the closest she’s ever come to telling me her true feelings in my 62 years on this good earth. I was honored and humbled. I just did what a kid is supposed to do.
    What your mom says to you affects you, no matter how old you are!

  7. The same thing goes for fathers, when I was taking care of my parents 7 years ago in 2017 in their last year of life my dad started calling me Sir when I was taking care of them. It was all worth it, it was one of the hardest and most rewarding things I ever did for my mom and dad, and I’d do it again if they were still living.

  8. My dad died in 2020 at the age of 98. I cannot remembering him ever saying he loved me. He didn’t have to say it because his actions were loud and clear. Great dad.

    Miss you dad.

  11. Agatha Kakalogical,

    You brought up a memory when my mom was a few days before her death. She was in the nursing home for rehab after she broke her hip, but in doing an ultrasound for something else, they found cancer had spread throughout her abdomen. Total surprise.

    I was visiting every day, and this one day she was in and out of consciousness. I was standing at the foot of her bed looking out the window and tears were rolling down my face. Then I heard her say, “You’re crying.”

    I looked at her, smiled and said, “That’s ok. It’s because I love you.”

    She smiled, closed her eyes and those were our last words. She passed peacefully three days later.

  17. Another example of God’s loving, awesome connections to preserve mankind.
    A mother’s love for her baby and a baby’s adoration for his mother. So beautiful. Yep, hand me the Kleenex.

    My dad came home on hospice. The nurse let us know that he was getting near the end of life. I went to see him. I kissed him and said I love you. I then said I was happy he was at home. A common theme of his Alzheimers journey was that he wanted to “go home”.
    Within ten minutes of us leaving, my sister called and told me he had passed. We talked and decided that he was waiting for me to say good-bye.
    It is most fulfilling because my dad and I had a difficult relationship, but it was still founded in love. That is what I carry in my heart today.
    I am so happy that you had that beautiful moment with your mother.

    I know exactly what you mean. I didn’t like some of the things I had to do while helping out my parents, but I would do them all over again.
