All of the things she did for her family never bothered Mrs Mouse, she was a hard worker and happy to take care of her little Mouse family. As the years went by and her little family grew older and had their own lives they saw less of Mrs Mouse and she tried to not be too sad by that, it is the way of life. However Mrs Mouse had to move to a smaller home because she was no longer able to work so hard and not able to take care of her bigger home....Mrs Mouse adjusted to that and then she was moved by her family to an even smaller home. Mrs Mouse adjusted over and over as she tried to do and be what everyone else wanted her to do.
Through the years Mrs Mouse gave up most of her possessions and freedom and was left with little of the things that most of her friends and family took for granted. She came to be isolated in her little home as she was not able to be out and about like many others in her community.
Mrs Mouse had 2 chairs in her home, one chair she kept especially for her only son that would return to visit her and she always wanted him to be comfortable, she also had 2 little beds so when her youngest daughter returned from a great distance there would be somewhere for her to rest and stay.
Mrs Mouse's kitchen wasn't used now because Mrs Mouse was too weak to prepare her own food, her world had become her bed, her wheelchair and her recliner where she could sit and read for hours, or occasionally drift off in a nap. She kept her phone close by but it seldom rang, life is lonely when everyone else has moved on from this life and you have not had an opportunity to make new acquaintances because you're confined by health issues.
If you know a Mrs Mouse, or even a Mr Mouse...try to reach out to them, one day it may be you that has a phone that never rings~
