Issue No. 13 of the Knowing Road. It was approaching midnight, and it had been around 9 hours since my Mom was admitted to the Emergency Room with severely low blood pressure and a host of other serious health issues. Despite four IVs going in and out of her arms and an oxygen tube placed beneath her nose, her heart rate remained significantly low as her health monitor continued to remind us by its incessant loud beeping and blinking lights.
What a life! What times she lived in and what an amazing journey for her family. It made me wonder to ask more about my grandfather that lived in that period of time and was also strong willed and resilient, leading sometimes to disconnect with the family harmony. As you well said: "I came to a place of peace and compassion where that is only part of her story as is the love and pride she had for me and the devotion to our family." Thank you for sharing, and what an amazing son to reflect on her life and bring her legacy forward.
