Visiting parents who are aging and needing help.
We support each other.
Our tears represent words unspoken between us saying,
"I understand. It is sad"
Our journey is not over.
It is actually in the middle phase of decision making and choices.
Mother is 81 and dad is almost 86.
Both in ill health.
One remembers. One does not.
Neither one of them very strong.
Our journey is not over till we say good bye to them.
Sisters ~ supporting each other in ways only sisters can.
Till the time comes for us to walk another road 'as sisters'
as a new journey will begin for us.

What a beautiful post ... My husband and I both are walking similar paths with our Mothers right now, so this was very moving and very well said.
Blessings!

Oh, do I understand this bond. I'm sorry to hear about the hard decisions. The seeing people you love in vulnerable places. God bless both you and your sister.
Beautiful post that I can relate to. Aging parents...sisters...learning to accept the way time changes us all. Thank you for sharing your heart!
You are so blessed to share that sisterhood! Praying that God strengthen, comfort and bring precious memories to mind in these new roles!
Just read your last two posts - beautiful. It really is important to take things one day at a time and cherish the time we have with family/friends. I have to remind myself of this all the time.
