Down and out

Somehow today I am feeling down and out. May be it is physical may be it is psychological. I would not know. What do you do at such times? I would love to know. I am thinking about my mother who is totally bedridden. Is she the reason for my down feeling? She was such a bubbly character moving around so much I used to tease her that my age is 40 and yours is just 25! She was like that. Going to various functions two days before and organizing things. A natural leader. Today she tries that sleeping. It irritates all. I get irritated for some other reason. Why she is lying like that on bed? why not she walk? She says her knees are buckled. Is this a curse all of us have to undergo? The elders succumbing to various problems in front of our eyes? is there no remedy for that? I remember one of my aunts who came to see my mum said, when/if I reach that stage I shall ask for Euthanasia or mercy killing. is it proper to think that way? My mom is full of zest even now.She keeps tab of everything in the house, everyone in home. Many times the concern is annoying, but sometimes it is good too when she remembers somethings which we ought to remember and obviously we have forgotten! Well, no avail. the Show must go on.
