Beautifully-Human

One of the older women that my mom takes care of has been getting really sick lately. I feel so bad for her because she used to live such an active life and now she’s pretty much confined to a bed. That has to be a really hard thing to deal with. It’s also been really hard on her family because she can’t ever be left alone. A few months ago it wasn’t this bad for her. She had to use a walker to get around and she had to wear a medical id bracelet, but at least she was able to be independent. Now she has to rely on everyone for everything. That must be the worst feeling in the world. I’m so happy to be an able bodied person. I can’t imagine needing someone for everything. It must be so hard.
