I honor and love you, Mom / LOH Contest 237
Hello my beautiful people, especially the beloved and empowered Ladies of Hive, today I'm sharing my entry in community contest 237, hosted by my friend @kerrislravenhill. I'm inviting my friend @giocondina to participate, and I'm also inviting all the ladies of this community to join in. I chose the two questions to develop:
Whether your mother is with us in person or in spirit, what is/was your plan to celebrate Mother’s day this year?
This year, thank God, I was able to enjoy my mother's company. She's eighty-seven years old. I was able to spend time with her, and just as Mother's Day is every day, I treat her with much love and affection. It's not necessary to celebrate Mother's Day because I celebrate it every day, whether it's with a special meal she likes, going for a walk, or visiting a relative. I'm always grateful to God for keeping her healthy and enjoying good health. For now, she can walk, sometimes without help and other times with the help of her cane. This time, I prepared a very special lunch for her, which she loves. My daughter gave her some very pretty ankle socks, and she received many thoughtful gifts from her other daughters.
Caring for an aged parent can be a joy and at the same time a challenge. What obstacles did you encounter and how did you and your family overcome them?
My mother is not yet in extreme need of care. She performs certain daily activities on her own, such as bathing alone, eating without assistance, and moving around the house sometimes with a cane and sometimes without. Older adults in my family live longer. My maternal grandmother died at 94, and my maternal grandfather at 96. It was truly a great challenge caring for them until their deaths; we had to seek extensive guidance regarding caregiving. My grandmother lost her sight, and my grandfather died of respiratory arrest. We created a care protocol for our grandparents as a family. The challenge was great. My grandmother was bedridden for several years, and we had to take turns accompanying her in the room in case something came up. It wasn't easy because of her vision loss; she became aggressive, wouldn't sleep, and had to be sedated. Thank God, we were able to cope with the situation.

Hola a todas las damas de la comunidad Hive. A continuación les dejo mi participación en el concurso comunitario 237, el cual está a cargo de la amiga @kerrislravenhill, hago la invitación a la amiga @giocondina asi mismo extiendo la invitación a todas las damas de la comunidad y que se animen a participar. Escogi las dos preguntas para desarrollar :
Ya sea que tu madre nos acompañe en persona o en espíritu, ¿cuál es/era tu plan para celebrar el Día de la Madre este año?.
Este año gracias a Dios pude disfrutar la compañía de mi madre, ella tiene ochenta y siete años. Pude compartir con ella y al igual que todos los días, el día de las madres son todos los días, la atiendo con mucho amor y cariño. No hace falta celebrar el día de la madre porque todos los días lo celebro ya sea con una comida especial que a ella le guste o salir de paseo o visitar algún familiar. Siempre agradecida con Dios por mantenerla sana y gozando de buena salud. Hasta los momentos ella puede caminar a veces lo hace sin ayuda y otras veces con ayuda de su bastón. En esta oportunidad le prepare un almuerzo muy especial que a ella le encanta. Mi hija le regalo unas medias tobilleras muy lindas y recibio muchos detalles de sus otras hijas.
Cuidar de un padre mayor puede ser una alegría y, al mismo tiempo, un desafío. ¿Qué obstáculos encontraron y cómo los superaron usted y su familia?
Mi madre aún no esta en condiciones extremas de cuido ella realiza ciertas actividades cotidianas por si misma como por ejemplo: se baña sola, come sin ayuda, se desplaza en la casa con su bastón algunas veces y otras veces sin el. En mi familia los adultos mayores son longevos. Mi abuela materna murió de noventa y cuatro años y mi abuelo materno de noventa y seis años. De verdad fue un gran desafio atenderlos hasta el momento de su fallecimiento tuvimos que buscar mucha orientación en cuanto al cuido. Mi abuela perdió la vista y mi abuelo murió de un paro respiratorio. Creamos en la familia un protocolo de cuidados para nuestros abuelos. El desafío fue grande. Mi abuela duró algunos años en cama y teniamos que turnarnos para acompañarla en la habitación en caso de que se presentara alguna situación no fue fácil por la pérdida de la visión se puso agresiva, no dormía y habia que sedarla. Gracias a Dios pudimos salir adelante con la situación presentada.
