I'm Taking Care of My Mom

[Merry]

Good for your family though for taking care of your Mom! I would have loved to have sisters or brothers to help out so I could take a break once and awhile. Your Mom sounds like one scrappy, tough lady! But, I guess I'm just a bit scornful of "passive" men. When you're brought up to believe that men are the "hunters" and take care of their families it's hard to put up with a guy who doesn't take charge and control. That means I have to be the one, and you know what they call a strong woman who is in control? A bitch, lol but it's not a word that I'm ashamed of being called. Means I'm one strong, independent woman and after these last 6 months I'm thinking there's not going to be much more in life that I can't deal with. Well, as soon as I stop being so sorrowful because Mom lost her battle with cancer and I'm in a daze of pain and sadness.

Good luck with your Mom, they're precious and a treasure and I thank God that He gave me 55 years with mine...God Bless!!
