For Mum and Dad

My mum has Alzheimer's Disease. She's still quite fit and well, but a bit gaga. She still remembers me but sometimes it takes her a little while to recognize who I am and I sometimes have to play along when she thinks that I'm her ex-husband - I've got some physical similarities to my Dad.

Anyway, I wish that she remains happy till her final days and that her condition is not so debilitating that she suffers. She has always been a loving and caring mother.

I wish my Dad could stop being an angry, grumpy old man. I wish that he could relax a little and forget his pride and realize that there are people about him that do love him. He needs to stop resisting their love and begin to let it in. I wish he could do this so that he doesn't die an unhappy old man.

So I pray for the good health of my Mother. She is happy and knows nothing buy joy and happiness. I pray for my Father, that he leaves all his grievances behind, that his insecurities and jealousies dissapate to nothingness, that his self-inflicted depression is lifted and that the light of the Truth shines into his life and that he learns to love and be loved.
