I am a pessimistic person by nature, but I am grateful for the fact that I have good friends to confide in. I am grateful that my mother is healthy and I am humbled by the fact that she trusts me to take care of her. While it is an overwhelming (frightening and at times frustratingly difficult) responsibility, I know that I can honestly say I have done absolutely EVERYTHING I can for her while my brother and sister cannot say the same.

Is there anyone else out there that is going through this as well? I would really appreciate hearing from you.
