When children have to care for their mother or father

Have you ever wondered what it would be like if you had to care for your parents or your children may have to care for you because of a sudden illness? Many people are making that sacrifice to take of their parents because they may have become ill and can't do the things they used to do. It's only right for a child to make sure his/her parents gets the home care they deserve because they cared for you growing up!  When I found out my mother was diagnosed with lung cancer I can't explain the feeling I had. As bad as I HATED sitting with her through chemo....I did it! I would look around and see so many ppl my age or maybe older sitting with their mothers and fathers as they went through the chemo process! That had to be the hardest 4hrs a day throughout life itself! Then the after affects make you not even want to be around your mom or dad because it's like they are so down or tired all the time! I was glad when they said she was cancer free at her last appointment cause I don't know if I could handle watching my mom suffer! There shouldn't be a soul on this earth that wouldn't want to care for the person that cared for them their entire life! My mother and I have never had the mother daughter relationship like alot of others that I see....but you better believe if anything ever happened to that lady I can't say what it would do to me...and if you are a parent who's children have to look after you...make sure they know how much you appreciate them being there for you...it will help them to be respectful towards others and also keep YOU out of a nursing home later in life!! Lol!! So if you still have a mother or father that's able to talk... start calling him/her... ask them do they need anything or just call and simply say "thank you ma" cause we are only born with 1 set of parents!! #Salute
