My mom has given me more than a little hardship
because of the difficult aspects of her character.
Recently, she has suddenly become a very very nice
and pleasant old lady.
I have no idea what's happened.
"I don't torelate anyone trying to take stupid care of
this perfect moi."
is originally what is underlying everything she says and does.
And it was becoming worse and worse as her senile dementia
became exacerbated.
Because of this, she was the hardest one to take care of
in this entire country, and
taking care of her was the least rewarding thing in the universe.
However, she has been a docile person since around July.
I've never seen her like this ever since I was born from her.
To my genuine surprise, she thanks me for whatever care
I take for her.
What on earth is happening??
I mean, what's got into her??
Anyway it's so much easier to nurse her
and even just to be with.
Changing diaper was such an unpleasant task before,
but now she starts to take off her pants as soon as
I say "Shall we change your underpants?"
The other day it seemed that her diaper was in a state
that required an immediate change, and when I saw her,
she had taken off her pants some time before and was waiting
for me to notice.
It was just like a three year old infant saying
"Mommy, I peed!"
She used to treat me as if she was saying something like;
"I don't want to see my stupid daughter's face.
Get out of here now, defective!"
And now she almost runs to the entrance to see me
with a stuffed dog in her hand
as soon as I enter her house .
Today, she seemed like she wanted to see me
even more than usual.
(What's goiong on? What does she want??)
I was thinking as she started,
"The caretaker who came this morning!"
"Uh-huh?"
"I went to the plastic garbage bin to throw away
the little bag after I took my medication."
"OK?"
"She said I didn't have to recycle that!"
"She did?"
"So I said, 'This is made of plastic, and I always put this in
the plastic garbage bin."
"Uh-huh."
"But she said I didn't have to recycle something that small!"
"Hmmm, that's not right, is it?"
"I thought so! Do you think she decides if she recycle something or not
by it's size??"
This is what she wanted to tell me all morning.
I told her that she was right, which made her so happy
that she told the stuffed dog,
"Yeah! Yeah! She said Mommy's right!!"
.......What's this, God??
A few months ago she'd arrogantly deny the
the caretaker AND the entire company, saying,
"A company that hires that person can't be a
very good company, can it?"
So, what happened?!
She is, she is, somehow....almost....SWEET!?!?
Yes, what I might be feeling now and then
because of her lately is what a mother would feel about
her baby child.
I have long given up having children.
And this so unexpectedly emerged in my days of nursing!?
And from time to time this almost make me happy!?
What the heck is this????
Life is so totally unforeseeable.
