Wenn auch die Dialyse sicherlich kein Spaziergang ist. Aber auch so alte Menschen hängen am Leben, ich weiß es von meiner fast 85j. Mutti. Wo manche glauben, bei zahlreichen gesundheitlichen Problemen, das ist doch kaum noch ein Leben, freut Mutti sich an den kleinsten Dingen und vor allem, daß sie immer noch da ist! :-)<br /><br />Für Deine Mutter weiterhin von Herzen alles Liebe und Gute, daß Du sie noch lange haben magst.<br /><br />Liebe Grüße<br />SaraSara von Buelsdorfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00203878153680941547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1974466215163623524.post-67170635731880575232014-03-08T02:17:51.066-05:002014-03-08T02:17:51.066-05:00Deares Carolyn,

It is also very emotional for coming back home after saying goodbye to Mom & Dad at that age.<br />Hugs,<br />MarietteMariette VandenMunckhof-Vedderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877699174880945452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1974466215163623524.post-60712863665400491162014-03-07T22:58:43.020-05:002014-03-07T22:58:43.020-05:00Dear Mariette,

Mijn Moeder lijkt echt geen 90 en daar mag ze trots op zijn.<br />Het was erg leuk om in Nederland al zo'n geweldig mooi lenteweer te hebben en zo'n ver gevorderde natuur ook. Hier is alles veel later; lijkt wel omgekeerde wereld! Het vriest op het ogenblik weer met RealFeel -4°C... <br />Trieste datum voor jullie omdat het Moeder's sterfdag was op 12 februari.

We had booked our trip in August and prayed that things would go well and Mom would make it to that date. There had been some medical problems in-between but luckily they got resolved and we all are so blessed for having her still with us!<br />So sad when couples cannot age together but it so often does happen. So was the case for Pieter's Parents too, his Dad died decades before his Mom passed away. Of course we always keep our loved ones in our hearts untill we meet again.<br />Hugs to you,<br />MarietteMariette VandenMunckhof-Vedderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877699174880945452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1974466215163623524.post-52144929631772370702014-03-05T15:53:33.540-05:002014-03-05T15:53:33.540-05:00Dearest Mariette,

I can imagine how happy she was reading the good wishes from so many friends of yours!!! And, of course, I understand -and I can see- your own happiness for being able to be there on that special day! Your mom certainly looks a very sweet and special lady! You are lucky to have her and your dad and I wish you still have them for many more years! My own mother turned 88 in November whilst I lost my father 25 years ago, but I still think of him every single day!<br />Lots of hugs!!!<br />Marie-Anne<br />Marie-Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00107777204581721076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1974466215163623524.post-61082213638947970482014-03-05T14:49:27.741-05:002014-03-05T14:49:27.741-05:00Cara Paola,
Oh sì, lo so troppo bene il tuo motivo...Cara Paola,<br />Oh sì, lo so troppo bene il tuo motivo car'amica. A volte la nostra anima è troppo pesante... Per me, tornando da un tale viaggio emotivo non è facile pure ed inoltre, mio marito è in un'alta età se stesso, essendo un paziente di cuore in cima a quello. Ma sempre abbiamo compiuto il sacrificio monetario e preso il viaggio faticoso con tutto lo stress di fare le cose a lavorare a casa prima della partenza. Si leggerà più presto del beato come siamo stati. Credo che con più certezza che siamo protetti e guidati anche dai nostri angeli dall'alto; quelli che ci conoscono per nome... Questa foto è per me vale tutto lo sforzo e non per 1 milione che avrebbe voluto mancare a questo. Grazie a tante blogger premuroso e amici su FB ho potuto passare questa gioia alla mia cara mamma. Il sorriso è la ricompensa per tutti voi!<br />Un abbraccio forte,<br />MarietteMariette VandenMunckhof-Vedderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877699174880945452noreply@blogger.com
