Re: I'm Taking Care of My Mom

merry,
you say or write the things that I would not be able to describe in a vivid and honest way. I love my mother and my daughter too, its like I am in between this 2 great loves and I always felt am not doing enough and wanted to do more for the other, but cant, its always half or even quarter of myself.. thanks for your courage in airing out what I could have not done myself.

I reckon this could be therapeutic and should try it myself.. hope you find something fun to do with your mom.. something you will cherish for a long long time..

Her latest lesson is Courage as WE seek treatment for her condition and she enter the great unknown, and faces her inner demons…And I promised her that I will be her strength when she needs it, and her patience when she cannot bear it anymore..
