Be...
I am taking the rest of the week off to be here at home. I don't know yet about the next week. Mom can no longer walk and so she needs constant attention and moving to the wheelchair, but once she's up, she enjoys interacting.

When I was staying near her in the hospital, and helping and comforting her there, she asked, "How did you learn to be this way, Patty?" I answered, "It's my nature, Mom." Which is true, and much of the reason I've been taken advantage of, I suspect. I can only say now that it is a pleasure and a healing thing to do it for her.
