My mother in law had a heart attack this week. Very fortunately, it was mild and she survived it. They did an angioplasty on her today and found 80% blockage in her right cartoid artery. A couple of stints later, and she was back in her room, looking better than she had in weeks.
Fortunately...I don't do funerals well at all.
So, I've spent the largest part of this week sitting in a hospital room, trying to be amusing and witty. That's not a large stretch, but there's not a lot of wittiness in a hospital room.
Ah...but then today, a most wonderful event.
In the course of a conversation with Kristi, she told me that she had recently developed a whole new respect for me. She said she knew how hard it was for her, working part-time, raising one child, and having a husband who worked full-time, and that she couldn't imagine what it took for me to get through it all...I had worked full-time, raised three children, fed and clothed them, and that there was always a roof over their head, no matter how tough times got and Lord, they got tough sometimes!
When she finished - I was crying. I felt revived though :)
I think every mother waits for this day!!
