Time and Touch are Strong Nonverbal Communicators
I visit my mother in her assisted living facility. One day I
saw an entire family get out of the van and help their mother/grandmother get
out of the van. They all needed to help and they all needed to touch her and
they all wanted to talk to her and hug her one last time. They weren't in
a hurry, they didn't just stay in the car and watch her get out. They didn't rush off like so many families
do. It reminded me to slow down when I'm with my mother to take care and linger
in our love.
