Mom's grand daughter (my niece) graduated from college today. We celebrated her graduation with a back yard barbecue. It was at my sister's home. The family was having a fun evening outdoors. It was great. All of a sudden, my sister started speaking and mom recognized her voice. Mom stood up from her seat and said, "That's my daughter Carmen speaking!"
My sister and I both froze with disbelieve and happiness at the same time. We looked at each other. I knew what my sister was thinking - that mom actually got it right. It was her daughter Carmen speaking. Carmen walked over to our mom and gave her a hug and said, "Yes, mommy its me Carmen" .
Mom has a sister named Carmen too. When mom says Carmen, she means her sister not her daugter. That why my sister and I were so shocked that she said, "my daughter Carmen."
I thank God for that small moment. It meant so much to Carmen and me.
Wonderful!!! And Congrats to the gradurate.
ReplyDeleteI know my mom is still in there some where cause she says things sometimes that are right on the money. I think she just gets her words wrong sometimes.
I pray your mom knows whats going on and whos who more often. Good luck.
Thanks Karen. It doesn't happen often, but I pray for it often.
