MyBlog -49 (My little effort to take care of my elderly mom...)

After I got married I flew to USA within few days. Later I went back to India after three months of my marriage when I got the news of my father's ill-health. Dad expired last year.

Since then, my mother appears so pale and dull. She is an arthritis patient & the constant pain adds trouble to her frail health. She is living with my elder brother's family but since brother n bhabhi are professionals and their only kid is away at school during day , I can sense my mom feels lonesome most of the times. Though my brother n bhabhi take good care of her but she is home alone most of the time. I feel the loneliness is causing depression in her and affecting her health as well. The other day I asked my hubby if we can get her here in US to bring a change in her routine boredom. Moreover I am not working here so I can spend quality time with her. I can try to keep her occupied and divert her mind from negative thoughts. We are yet to plan the visa and other things keeping her frail health in mind.

My mom is an elderly lady and her appetite has reduced now which worry's me more coz she is becoming weak day by day.

I wish I can bring her here for few months and try taking extra care of her. May be spending more time with her, paying more attention to her diet n health, new environment & providing a little jovial surrounding may lift up her mood n health. Though I can't do much living in this far land but I can definitely make little effort to take care of my elderly mom.

I sincerely wish & pray that my plan, of bringing her here & making her stay comfortable n joyous, works out well...:|
