I don't normally post on the weekends. I actually don't really even get on the computer....but i do have an iphone..so it does get checked....but unless it's something important....i put it aside till monday morning.
weekends are family time.
always have been .....
but this weekend was different.....is different.
I recieved a call from my dad on friday saying he was taking my mother to the hospital......
my mom had been sick for over a week ......in fact we all thought she had the flu......
but in the last few days...she could hardly move.....and on Friday when my dad said
she was not coherent and not able to form a complete sentence...he took her to the hospital.
my mom is my best friend.....we are so eerily similar....
we have the same voice....so when she is at my home...people get us confused on the phone.
my mom is my best friend and i don't know what i would do with out her.
she was admitted to the hospital with pneumonia...but at a stage where different parts of her body were starting to shut down because she thought she had the flu and was in bed at home.
She is going to be fine.
She is sick...but going to be fine.
I sit here writing......knowing of good friends that are not close with their mothers.....and maybe my situation is different.....because my mom is my best friend.
It wasn't till after high school that we even forged a relationship that was beautiful.
I was a different person in high school.
I know we all were.....but my situation was different. I almost didn't graduate.....and my parents made a decision to send me to live with my aunt and uncle.
{that is a whole different post....}
Anyways......my mom is my best friend and she is sick but going to be o.k.
I've had friends that have lost their mothers.......and friends that don't even really know their mothers......so i consider myself lucky......i have a beautiful relationship.
when i left Colorado.....over 2 years ago........i had a little going away party at my house...just the girls....about 20 of them......friends and neighbors.....and my mom.
well.....there was a book that was passed around called "oh...the places you'll go.." by Dr. Suess.
....Polaroid pictures were taken of the evening with me and the girls....with each of the girls writing a bit ...and on the page was a picture of myself and my mom.....and she wrote....
'where you go...i will follow'.
becuase that is my mom......

Oh Kasey! I'm so glad that your mom is going to be okay, but I'll keep her in my prayers anyway!
Love to you and yours!
xoxo
Glad your mom is getting the care she needs now....and will get better. I'm one of those who lost my mom already.....but I have a great mother in law, so I am blessed. Take care.
Suzanne
I am so happy she will be ok. This is truly beautiful. I am happy you have a best friend in your mom. You are so very lucky. All the best to your and your family, and I hope you enjoy this lovely Labor Day weekend.
I'm praying that your mom will recover quickly.
It's not easy, especially when you are not close by. I'm in a similar situation with my mom. No matter how old we are, if were married or have children of our own, they are still our mom and dad. I'm so sorry your mom is so sick. I hope her recovery is quick. xoxoxo, Jamie
So glad your Dad got your mom to the hospital in time and that she is getting good care. There is nothing like a mother/daughter love. Hope she heals completely and quickly.\
Nancy
That was a sweet and thoughtful post.
I'm sorry to hear about the scare with your Mom, but sooo glad she is going to be OK.
Blessings,

Kasey,
I am so glad your mom is okay. I know how you feel. My mom is my best friend too. We found out 4 weeks ago that she has stage 4 cancer, and her diagnosis is not good. It has broken my heart.
Just like you, I am sooo much like my mom. I cannot imagine life without her.
Go hug your mom if you can. Soak her up. Life is so short, and Moms are irreplaceable!
Praising God that your mom is doing well!
Blessings to your whole family,
Traci
That is touching Kasey. I am glad that your Mom is going to be OK. Scary stuff.
What a sweet post about your mom! My mom is my best friend too and I can't imagine what I would do without her! You obviously love her very dearly and I hope she recovers nicely and quickly so she can get back to being your best friend :0) God bless, Katy
Kasey, so glad your mom will be okay! Praying for a quick recovery.
Beautiful post.
I am so sorry to hear about your mom and I am glad she is okay now...
Wow. What a post. Beautiful.
Sooooo happy to hear that she apparently just needs a bit of TLC and time to recover.
As with many of the comments, I've experience the gamut with my mom and as we speak, she is a Hospice patient with not much longer here with us.
Perhaps a little trip will be in your future, to go see that beautiful lady in the Poloroid. :)
Thanks for sharing -- just beautiful.

My mom was my best friend also, so I really do understand. I miss her every minute of everyday. I am so happy she is going to be ok, and I know you are thrilled. Cherish every moment, they are all so precious. I will keep her in prayer for a fast recovery. Hugs, Marty
Kasey...I am so sorry she has been so sick. I will be praying that she will heal fast. I admire mother/daughter relationships like yours...as I have said I had never had that. I do feel lucky however to have an amazing daughter whom I am very close to, so I feel that makes up for it. A beautiful post and I will be thinking of you and your family. I send you lots of hugs and good thoughts your way. Thank you for sharing such a touching post...you are such a beautiful person.
Hugs to you friend,
~Victoria~
I'm so happy for you and your family that she will be ok!!!
Have a great weekend,
Aimee
Praying for your moms healing!

what a beautiful post. i so hope that my girls will be able to think of me in the same way...
i am so happy that she is ok.:)
Sweet K - I'm so sorry your mom is going through this...and YOU are going through this, too. Hard to watch a parent hurt.
I will continue to pray for healing for your precious mom.
xoxo
To Kasey..and to Traci, who left a comment about her mama.
I'm praying...and will continue to pray for thorough healing for your moms and comfort for all of you!

ps My mom is my best friend and my business partner. We lost my precious daddy ten years ago, last month. (He would have LOVED seeing all of the food and design blogs...back then..pretty much all that was available was PBS with Yan Can Cook, Victory Garden, and This Old House) Those of us who are able to know are parents as dear friends are truly blessed!
pps Those of us who are able to know our parents as dear friends are truly blessed too. : )
So glad that your mom will be okay...what a lovely post!
you inspired me to do something special for my mom, she is coming to visit next weekend. glad to know your mom will be okay. and I have to ask, the music that is playing -who is it? I love it.
Oh Kasey so sorry to hear about your mom, relieved she will be ok.
I am extremely close with my mom and it scares me to death to think about losing her. I am thinking of you both and saying a prayer for your mom's speedy recovery.
i am so glad to hear that your mom is going to be ok...i will still keep her in my prayers that she recovers quickly.
i am one of those that has a wonderful relationship with my mom. she is my best friend. so i can imagine the scare that you had. we can count ourselves lucky to have our moms as our friends.
I'm so glad your mom will be okay Kasey and I'm sorry you were scared. It's frightening to think about. My mom drives me nuts, but I love her and she's the first person I call if I need an ear. I hope you get to hug her soon.
xoxo,
rue
Kasey:
Glad to hear that Mom is going to be ok, keeping you both in my prayers.
Nancy
What a sweet post. I'm glad your mom is going to be okay. I wish her the speediest of recoveries.
We will keep your mom in our prayers. You are so blessed to have such a wonderful relationship with your mom.
hang in there sweet friend! Your mama is going to be just fine. She is in our prayers! This post made me realize how much i miss my mother. She lives far away, overseas and i always fear any phone call such as this one. Be well dear friend! Keep us posted.
I'm so glad she's ok. My mom is my best friend too. I'll be praying your mom has a quick recovery and is feeling better soon.
I lost my mom last year in August. She suffered for so many year but never said a word. The last year of her life was the worst but I accompanied her to her appointments, called her on a daily bases and had her over for 3 days and taking care of her. I miss her alot. I wish I could hear her voice again, her laugh, see her smile, how she enjoyed life to the fullest. I hope your mother recoveres and be with you! My mother was my confident, I have no confident anymore. Cherrish every moment with her.
so glad your mom is going to be fine. it's so hard for me to see my mom hurt, or sick...i feel almost as protective of her as i do my daughter. i am becoming her caretaker, our rolls are starting to reverse, and like you , in my adulthood i found a friendship with my mom that i never thought i would have. the note she wrote in your book...so precious. hope she gets to come home soon.xox
So glad to hear she is going to be ok. My mom is my best friend too. I can't imagine life without her. Sweet words and photo of you both.
Thank GOD your mom got some medical attention. So many times we dismiss things as "just a cold" and it turns out to be serious.
I understand exactly what you said about your relationship with your mom.....my mom was my best freind. She is still here but I'm loosing little pieces of her every day to dementia.
Robin
PS that Dr. Seuss book is GREAT! but it makes me cry every time I read it!
So sorry to hear of your Mums illness and so pleased that she will be O.K. and on the road to recovery. Will be thinking of you. Lots of love. XXXX
how wonderful your mom is your best friend
oh friend, i wish i were there so i could come squeeze your neck. i'm sure you were just so frightened when your dad called.
i'm glad she's going to be ok!!
i look forward to hearing more of this chapter ( the one about ya'lls relationship) .....you 've got a bunch of them don't ya!
what a precious connection you have.
thanks for sharing sweet friend
i'm praying for her!!
i'll be working at the hospital tomorrow, thinking of both of you.

Beautiful post. I love the way you...kinda diverge from here to there. I am going to show my partner your post, his son is 17 and difficult. I want to show him, there is hope after the teenage years. Thanks for sharing. I'm happy your mom will be o.k.
Kasey, thank God she is going to be ok, I can't imagine what you are all going through. My Mom is my best friend too, and I would die if anything ever happened to her! She'll be in our prayers! Melaine
I am so glad to hear your mother will be okay! It is so unsettling to hear a loved one is ill. Suddenly, everything else fades away and all that's all you can think about. Thanks for sharing this with us and I will keep her in my thoughts.
So sorry to hear your Mom is sick but so glad to know that she will be ok. Moms are great like that! Wonderful post...Susie~
Oh my eyes are filled with tears. I am saying a small prayer for your sweet mom.
Oh Kasey, what a scare! I am so, so sorry to hear your Mom has been so ill; but very relieved to know that she will be okay. I will keep her{& you & family} in my thoughts & prayers...wishing her a quick & full recovery. You were so sweet to me when my mom passed away{like you, my mom was my best friend}, so I am wishing you many, many more days spending time with your beautiful mom, your best friend:) xo
you are all in my thoughts and prayers...sending comforting thoughts your way.
Beautiful, beautiful post Kasey. I'm so glad to hear that your Mom is going to be ok. You are very lucky to have what you have with your Mom, but then, I know you know that already.
Take care,
B x
So happy your mom is going to be okay! And I LOVE what she wrote along with your photo - this sums up her unconditional love perfectly!
This is a beautiful post Kasey! My mom and I have a very close relationship as well. Unfortunately, my mom does not live in the same state as me so we don't get to see each other very often, but we talk everyday. Please know that your mom is in my prayers. I hope she gets well soon.
Hugs,
Rachel
I am so glad that your mom is going to be okay! I know how you feel, I don't know what I would do without my mom. We see each other everday. I will continue to pray for her. ((hugs))
xoxo
Kasey...you have a gift of pulling at one's heartstrings and making each of us look inside at our own honesty...this post about your mother touched me in a way no other has. My mother is also my BEST friend...she is everything to me. I will keep you and your Mom in my thoughts.
Thank God Kasey everything will be fine. I'm sending prayers for a speedy recovery. Missed you & your fabulous clan whilst lounging in the Lowcountry.
You'd love it!!!
You know I'm praying for her my sweet friend! And she does sound exactly like you. I just know she'll be all better soon...
:) T
Oh Miss Kacee, I can feel that this is hurting you. What a wonderful daughter you are. I'm very glad they finally got her to the hospital. Why do we try and second guess our health. I'm so glad that she will be ok.
I have a daughter like you, we have always been best friends. I know what your going through. It will be wonderful when she up and at it again. She will be!
Tight Huggs.

Oh Kasey, how scary for you and your family. I'm so thankful she's going to be okay. What a blessing to have such a special relationship with your Mom. I will pray for her and that God will be with you too.♥
i'm glad that your mom is going to be okay.
i too share a beautiful relationship with my mom and appreciate all of the words you typed...they ring close to home.

What a touching post - I love my mum so dearly I cannot imagine her being sick and what would happen to our family. I am hoping a quick recovery for yours. xx
kasey,
Oh, my...how scary to say the least. I'm so thankful she'll be ok. I'll say a prayer for her recovery.
Hugs,
Kara
I can imagine how you are feeling- my mom is my best friend as well. So glad to hear she is going to be ok.
What a touching post! I too am very very close with my Mom so this really spoke to me. So glad to hear she's going to be OK! That last part choked me up a little...
i'm glad your mom is going to be ok.....aren't mom's wonderful...i wasn't best friends with my mom until after high school either. My daughter just graduated from high school but we are very close and I cherish the moments with her.
Hugs!
I'm so glad she's ok. I was called to the hospital last year. My Mom had fallen and hit her head. It rocked me to the core. I don't know what I would do without her!
You're smart to treasure each moment together. Glad your mom is on her way to recovery. Yay!
I know exactly what you mean - my mom was my best friend and I miss her terribly. She passed away ten years ago and I still hurts. However, I am so happy that my daughter, Ashley and I are extremely close - even though she is in Paris right now.
So happy your mom will be fine.
I will pray for your mother. I know you are so blessed to be best friends. :)
Blessings,
Tabetha

praying for your mom to get well!
adding you to my blogroll - hope that's ok!
Oh Kasey, so glad your mom is going to be o.k.! I remember my mom getting pneumonia and she didn't know it either. It was scary when she looked me straight in the eye and told me that she HAD to go to the hospital NOW. She could hardly get herself into the car with my help. Scary!
Thanks for stopping by...and yes, I jinxed us here in CO. It has been quite warm, lovely but warm. I spoke wayyyy too soon.
loved this post. i am so happy to know she will be okay. i'll be praying. our relationships with our moms sound similar. i am so thankful they love us through our rough years and never give up on us. beautiful post, kasey.

Thank you for sharing and thank you for the tears...i am glad your mother is okay...I am very close to my mom as well and I feel the same way that if I left or she left we would follow eachother...no doubt! xoxo
Kasey,you and your mother are both very lucky to have forged the bond that you have. Never take it for granted, which I am sure that you already know. I got tears in my eyes when I read what she wrote in the book. How great is a mothers love......... Thanks for a beautiful post and to reminds us all about a mother/daughter bond. Will keep your mother in my thoughts and prayers.
Sincerely,
Pat
I am praying for your family and especially your mom. From what you have shared she seems like a fitgher...fight she will. My thoughts are with you!
Oh honey, that's so scary.
2 years ago my daughter was very sick and we thought it was the flu. It got to the same point, where she was incoherent and lethargic, couldn't even open her eyes.
We took her in and they admitted her with severe pneumonia. She spent 5 days in the hospital. :(
My prayers go out for your mom to be back to 100% soon!
This post brought tears to my eyes, Kasey. My Mom was here with us for the weekend and just left today to go back to Texas. I know what you mean. I have been begging my Mom to move here to Arkansas, since my Father passed in May. I will pray for your Mom to have a speedy recovery. This was a touching post.
Blessings,
Shawn
Kasey,

Kasey, it is so good to hear that your mother is going to be okay. I have gotten closer with my mother and stepmother too and cannot imagine either one being sick. The picture and the book are wonderful. Priceless really. Take care.
I'm so glad your mom is going to be OK. A very scary moment for everyone. It is a good thing when your dad took her in. You are right there is no better friend than our mothers as we get older.
