It seemed like my mother's guardian angel took a break for a bit

This happened a few days ago and I guess I'll share this with you: When I was still bed-ridden, I could frequently hear some crashing and something breaking in the kitchen. In came into my room my mother mumbling about herself being clumsy lately. I asked her if she had any sleep and she said no. Her exact words were, "How can I sleep when I am watching over you?" It seemed like I have been too sick to even notice I'm too sick. When my mother is preparing the herb I need to place on my ruptured ear, she almost dropped the cup and I told her out of the blue, "it seemed like your guardian angel took a break from guarding you, ma." And she agreed after some thought. She said, "My guardian angel must have been too exasperated listening to my one constant prayer where I am asking God for something yet I still can't see the answer." She had been clumsy for the next few minutes but it disappeared later. Really, mother's guardian angel might have really took a bit of a break.

? How about your mother being deadly tired? It's normal you are clumsy then. And needing sleep is not something to make jokes about. Being a mother means being availabl 24/24 if you like it or not, years after years after years...

Yeah, I used to tell her that too. But I gave up. She just worries over little things. Instead of telling her that she needs to stop for a bit and rest, I think the only thing I can do now is just give her support and give her a push when she needs it. The other thing that I found that I can do for her too is just to help her whenever she needs a hand.
