I was fortunate enough to grow up with a very nurturing mom. She was born to take care of people. She's so good at taking care of babies, grandmas, teenagers, you name it. She's really good at seeing a need and then fulfilling the need, whether it's emotional, physical, spiritual. She's just very intuitive. She's an empath, and she just loves taking care of people.
Okay, so this is the bell my mom would use when we were sick. She would put it by our bedside with our whole setup, whether it was tea, a little snack, medicine, tissues, whatever we needed. She would set it all up and then she would put the bell where we could reach it easily and we would ring it if we needed her.
Of course, this is the sweetest thing ever. My own mom actually did this for me when I was sick as a kid, as well. So, now I need to call her and sob while I thank her for being such a good mom.
While the bell was a special gesture, it also served a more firm purpose, helping reinforce the rules and the attentive care my parents provided.
