While the visit to Honolulu was basically for my mother to see my sister’s children, it ended up being an awakening of sorts for me. I managed to mend things with my sister and she also gave me her approval to move on with my life as well. While so many people have asked me, “What about your mother?” or “Who is going to take care of your mother?” no one seemed to care whether or not I was happy. And, in the meantime, I was making EVERYONE miserable because I felt it was my responsibility / obligation to take care of her and I resented it immensely. Now that I have my chance. Where do I even begin?
