It's been a wild weekend with my mother. I see a lot of dementia. I really need a break from her.

As I was doing some of my errands today, I found myself thinking of a song that was sung in Linda's church about this time last year while I was visiting her. I thought I had gotten the lyrics for my journal but I hadn't. So I went searching for them again. Not sure why it popped into my head accept that maybe it's a reminder to "Let Go and Let God."

Come hell or high water I've got to make it to Trussville next weekend to support her. I'm her temporary sponsor and I should be there. I've got a baby sitter for Mom. I just need a ride or to get my truck ready for the drive.
