When my Mom contracted lung cancer, most of the burden fell to me to take care of her, my Dad (who had Alzheimer's) and my own family. My husband was a Godsend, stepping right up and taking on half my burden. In the end, I was grateful that I had a chance to prove to myself that I was a 'good' daughter; that I did not shirk my duty to return to my parents the love and care they had given to me over the years. Was I happy while doing it? No, it was hard and I cried constantly when I was alone for what I was losing and what it was costing my own family, but I'd do it again in a heartbeat. It taught me more about myself than I thought I'd ever know. I now know that I am faithful and steadfast to those I love.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13115664662406981879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5665070029816879836.post-26158472220709408882012-05-25T09:47:01.162-05:002012-05-25T09:47:01.162-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13115664662406981879noreply@blogger.com
