My mom is getting settled in a new ALF (asst living facility) and I am feeling the guilt of not spending much time with her. I wish I didn't care so much like the other five who are going on with their lives without nary a care in the world. But, God made me special. I am different and unique. That allows me to do for my own children, as well as my nephew. And it allows me to care for my mom too. I wish it wasn't so hard, so difficult, but in many ways, I wouldn't change a thing. Its been a privilege to get to know my mom all over again and do for her what she couldn't do for me--love and care. My father would be proud and that's more than enough sometimes. We're going to church today, all together, all one family.
