November 17, moms biRthDaY 🎉

The woman that has inspired me in many ways had biRthDaY yesterday. She became 79 yesterday 🎉🎉. She is ill with dementia and Alzheimer and she is my mom. She has learned me a lot of life, how cook food, how spend or not spend money. She is the person I look up to. She has been my inspiration in many ways.

Many people is surpriced she is still with us becauce of her illness and becauce she has been really sick twice in 13 months. Both times didn’t the doctors think she wouldn’t survive. But she is a strong woman. A lot of people was praying for her and she came back stronger. 🙏✝️

I am Thankful even though I have not seen her for the last four years. I love her even more now, than what I said or showed her when she wasn’t sick.

And I miss her.

I just want to hear her voice again…💖

She was the one that learned me to prepare food, wash clothes and make easy dinner with one of my brothers when I was 8 y.o. She nagged on me to clean my room as I become a teenager and she have helped me to move so many times 💖 (!) She has always been there even if we lived on a distance 💖 of minimum 350km to maximum 1200km for many years.

As long as I can remember she has been on a bycycle, to work or to the grocery store or prayer meeting. She loved to do easy exercice. She stoped using her bycycle about a year after she stoped to drive the car. We didn’t aloud her for safety of her self and others in trafic. But she’s been able to walk for many years. Even if it only were for 20minutes in the end, she walked. She had a small route she walked daily. 💜 She liked to be outside, she loved the forest, she went to the forest to pick wild berries and learned me where and how to find it.

This picture is from 2011 that Summer she and dad came visit me here in Norway. That was the last time she visit me. 💖 Her sickness had escalated this year and when they visit me I had to enjoy every minute I got with her being able to talk and walk. I miss that part of my mom 💖

Every year I pray I will have the opportunity to go and visit her for the last time before she is gone. 💖

I hope I make the trip in 2020 both financial and with someone that can watch my cat 🐈.

My mom was saved as a teenager and she had a relationship to the Lord. Now I 🙏 the Lord is with her every Day.

HaPPy biRthDaY Mom 💖💖💖

Love you!!

💖You have helped me in many ways in life! I can’t say it to many times, I love you Mom. 💖

Cellphone, 2 books and family time 4 X-mas.

Before I catched the train I started my traveling with a good cup of americano from Esspresso House in Lysaker.  I’m in my way to Sør-Trøndelag for Christmas. First time ever and I’ve lived in Norway for a bit more then ten years.. funny how it can be. 

I took the train from Oslo to Hamar and shifted there to the next. I knew it would be a lot of people but it was like a surprise it was so many from Oslo that traveling the same way as me.

(I had to do something about my hair and this is the result)  But here I am. On the train. Only my cellphone and books with me. I will not be on Facebook at all for five days and I am looking forward that. To spend time with family or go for a walk in the snow. Tired as normal when I get on a train.. Normally I fell a sleep just after the ticked is checked but not this time. Maybe because I’m blogging.. but I could easy fall a sleep! Anyway.. after five and a half hours of traveling by train I’ll see my older brother which I have not seen for two years (!) Live in his home and enjoy whatever he is doing and also be with my second brother and his family when they are coming tomorrow the 22nd of December. 

We are all (exept my brother who lives there) traveling away from home to celebrate Christmas. It was two tears ago since last time (!) or maybe even three years (even wers!) Anyhow, I will enjoy spending time with my family. 

I want to wish you all a Merry Christmas!! And I hope you will have a good time off work, time of Joy with your family or close friends. And enjoy Christmas with all it comes with!

I will probably blog about Christmas in Haltdalen, Trøndelag so you also can see and made get your curiousity of traveling in Norway and Trøndelag.

Faith in the hard time.

20140909_144315
Me & Mom Summer 2014 and lots of love.

To have faith on God in the hard time can be difficult. Why am I writing this? Well, my mom has for the last two weeks been in and out of the hospital.. She has Alzheimer (AD) and the end getting closer more then ever.

https://optharmony.com/how-nutrition-proper-specific-hydration-inflammation-and-body-flora-affect-alzheimersdementia/

It started with some cramps and she went to the ER by ambulance Monday the 29th of May.  She stayed there for about 12 hours, then they send her up to IVA (intensive care section) and from there to section 61 (Medical care). She had got a lung-infection and she got antibiotics.  She went stable and they could send her home to here Dementia service provider, Stenudden (see picture below).

Exactly one week later she went back by ambulance to the ER with new cramps, but this time it wasn’t the lungs. Thank God for that! But still… And both me and my brothers living far away from our Mom, my oldest biologic brother lives only 80km away but he has his family. And I don’t think it’s such big point for us to go and visit here in this last period. Cause we can’t really do nothing more then sit by her side. I don’t think Mom want us there either, cause that’s how she’s been saying all the years when she was healthy. We don’t know if she’s recognize us anymore… I makes all the calls to the different sections on the hospital and making sure that everyone has the right and newest information. Why, well I am such a copy of my mom and her personalities. I am a realistic person and have heard that through my whole life but the thing is that I like it too. I like to know the facts and to let to know that my family knows whats going on. 🙂 It just my way to show care and love.

Love-To-Care-1

I guess it helps me to believe I am doing the right thing for mom. I like to coordinate things and help out my way. It helps me believe God is leading me to help others. My faith on the small thing like “let mom not have too much pain” or “let her live a bit more healthy from physical pain”. My faith also get stronger by knowing we have others standing in prayer for us as a family. I think its harder for my dad and brothers. The “hard part” for me is that she will not be there in the future, meeting new grand-kids or celebrate different things happening in life. The sad part I think is that she will never be apart of my future wedding, family and if children comes into the picture. But I know she will stay with me forever and she will be watching over each of us siblings. ❤

My ventilation is this blog. I clear my head and thoughts. I have faith on God to do what’s best for Mom here and now.

The nurses I’ve been in contact with on section61 is adorable! They care for mom ❤ they really wants to do the best for her and they let us know everything we asks for. I would like to send some flowers to them just saying “You helped us so much during those days of wonder. Thank you all”. I would like to go and meet them in person nest time I’m up there!

I don’t think we as a family could go through this whole process without all the prayers that we have around us. It is so many friends, family and others around us that prays for mom to not have to much pain in this last period in life with the sickness and for us as family to not “fall a part” but to get strength through this and love to each other.

I am SO Thankful for every-ones prayers!!! ❤ ❤ ❤

I pray for mom every evening before I fall asleep and I know whenever mom is leaving us, she will get it better! She has been an Christian believer in many years and she believes in Heaven and I know she will get it better up there. She will be healthy again and she will not have any pain. ❤ She will watch over us from above. ❤

To be there for a friend.

Yesterday was a sad day for one of my girl friends.

She lost a family member… She called me right after she got he sad news and I just said, come over to me. You should not be alone. She came and we just were. We talked a bit, watch the television and she slept over. I just couldn’t let her be alone the first night. And I feel so sorry for her lost. I am sad in my heart for her and her family’s lost. And however she feels when she is back in Oslo, I will be there for her. She will need the support and friendship just more to get through the heavy part and be going, do the daily things feel the meaning and be loved.

The lost.

Emptiness.

How important it is to stay close with friends when you live in an other country then your family has been more and more important for me. And especially when a family member dies and you can’t be there when it happens. That just so much more important.

To be there for each other.

Support.

Make sure that your friend feel safety. Let whatever feelings to be okay. Take them in even if you don’t feel you have enough food, space or however you feel.

The friend needs you.

And i realized that I am so thankful for closest the friends I have here in Oslo that has become my family. That whenever my mom will not be a part of this world anymore, I know I have friends that will be there for me as I were there just now.

Family is not just the biologic ones. Family is those you have around you. The friends that support you whenever you need it. Family can be your Church, your closest friends, bonus siblings etc. Take care of them!
