As I watch my mom sleep and watch to make sure she is breathing, I can't help but think that when I was little she surely watched me and made sure that I was breathing. I think of all the things that she has done for me and my family. She always gave us the best, always sacrificing for whatever we needed and always, always putting us first. I learned from her how to be a mother, she was an amazing example. She is the best "Gram" ever. She has a special relationship with my daughter. They are so very close. She took care of her from the time I went back to work after her birth until the time she started school and then afternoons after she went to school. She has been to scocer games, volleyball games and anything else that Suz was involved in and has always been one of her biggest fans. I remember the day that Suz left for college, mom said " I told myself that I was not going to cry". As soon as Suz came in the door to tell her goodbye, they both started bawling. They have a very special relationship and I think they are both better for it.
My mom has always been the caregiver in our family all these years. Now it is our turn to care for her. I guess in life you come full circle. It is my honor and privilege to be able to care for her. I will do everything in my power to honor her and I am happy to make sacrifices for her, after all she deserves it.
