Everyone tells me how strong and brave they think I am for
dealing with my disease as well as I do. How do you do it? I have no choice I
have kids to take care of. Like I said before, I am very good at hiding the
pain and feelings. I have to say though I didn’t become strong from the MS, I
was taught how to be strong from the best teacher on earth…my mother.
I grew
up as any normal child with three siblings and two parents. My father worked
and my mother stayed home and took care of us, the house, the cooking,
shopping, etc. Like any normal mother. She then went to work and still was able
to do it all. Later in life my mother had her struggles a heart attack, triple bypass,
breast cancer, 2 stents after bypass, diabetic. Through it all and after
recovery she stayed strong and went back to her everyday affairs not letting us
see how she really feels. She had no choice, she had children to raise. I am
older now and now I see her weakness and worries cause being a mother I have to
hide it like she did so I see through her now.
My
mother and every mother I know draws strength from what makes them a mother…our
children. The love one feels for their children is beyond words, especially in
my case. My Dr. tells me time and time again how he is surprised it took this long
for me to get to the point I’m at now. It is solely because of my boys. My strength
comes from them. I have to take care of them I have no choice. If I had no
children I wouldn’t fight like I do. So when you tell me how strong I am I thank
you but most of all I thank my mother for teaching me. I love you Mom xoxoxo.
