This morning, we (mom and I) had coffee and tea—like we always do.
But today… I had my mom. All of her.

She was present.
We chatted, laughed, shared scripture, caught up on little things.
We talked—really talked.
And for a little while, it felt like time rewound and gave me a gift.

It was just coffee and tea.
But it was everything.

If you’re a caregiver, you know that moments like these are rare.
When they are arrive, you stop, no matter what you are doing.
Drop everything.
Soak it in.
Let the moment fill the cracks that the hard days make.

That one morning?
That one cup of coffee?
It was like a week-long vacation for my heart.

This afternoon was different. Harder. But this morning was golden – and I’m basking in it.

And that’s enough to carry me a little further down the track.

Wishing you all a great weekend and some golden moments that you can bask in also.

Wishing you all a golden moment with your loved ones, too.
