The View from My Bed

| Flower Roberts

I am hold up in the dreamhouse of my parents on top of a mountain. I have moved into their former bedroom because of the wide doorways and giant bathroom with handicap railing everywhere.

Wow fancy!

If you were describing your dreamhouse, your description might include plus rugs and fancy light fixtures.Those amenities did not make the cut here. From start to finish their priority was quality and convenience. These are the exact attributes that have helped me survive these months of mobility struggles.

Every room has a view. I can see other mountains from any bed I choose to sleep in. I feel like I live in the sky. This is such a joy.

My deer, Misty, and my present read.

It has felt like my parents were planning this house not just for their infirmities,  but also for mine and my sister’s. Since I have moved here, I have felt loved and cared for even when I am alone. I am grateful for this every day.

If you look closely in the mirror, you will see a ponytail that has not been washed in five days.

I appreciate my practical parents more and more as new challenges arise. I do not need to be impressed, just embraced by wise people who planned for what would be needed.

Feeling grateful again to…

Bop and Kiki, Carl and Dottie, Mom and Dad

I still feel your love. I hope you can feel mine, too.

    1. AND safe. I would not have made it through all these months in my house with steps everywhere. The other blessing was a GREAT surgeon Dr. Steve Anderson and his staff and the PT. All these things saved me..body and soul.
      Many miracles. I am grateful. Thanks Knight

  3. I am glad things are coming good for you, Flow. I have recently had a cancer cut from my back and am healing. I can go to gym now. Physical exercise always makes me feel better and getting out in the sunshine. I miss my family. They are coming home in a few days from overseas in the Philippines. I will phone them today, That will help 🙂
