When my brother, Paul and I – as well as my husband and many of Mom’s friends – noticed that she was losing details and forgetting things at a serious rate, we knew it was time for her to get out of her house and live in a place that didn’t require responsibility from her. We were afraid that if left alone much longer, she may accidentally cause damage or harm.
But she was VERY independent and I knew this was going to be a battle of epic proportions. So I planned an intervention in which her close friends from church and the neighborhood as well as some relatives would all gently but firmly try to convince her to move to Ohio and live near my husband and me.
She was NOT happy. I don’t think her church friends ever heard her use some of those words before. And being the instigator, she was REALLY mad at me. But I knew she would be AND I knew it would blow over. You see, Dotty had had a lot of things in her life not go the way she planned or hoped. She would always work hard and fight, and some things did succeed. But once she realized the fight was futile, she would figure out how to adjust and accept. How to go on and even make things work out. She made do with things. And that may sound pessimistic, but it was just Dotty being very, very real. Sure you can –and should - hope for and work toward goals and dreams, but in the end you have to accept things as they are. Maybe you don’t get everything, but that’s OK.
And what did Dotty get? 95 years of amazing physical health. Relatives and friends in 2 states that have tons of Dotty Stories full of humor, amazement, head-shaking incredulousness, courage, and love.
You did OK, Mom!
