Emily, you remind me of my daughter. She is 27 and just getting started in her adult life. I remember when I was in the heat of my 3 surgery's to remove the primary tumor and even though I couldn't and didn't feel like company or visiting she would come at least once or twice a week and just sit with me... She didn't expect anything, she just wanted to be with me and it meant so much to me to have her with me. Your mom is so lucky to have you there for her. At the time, I couldn't figure why she wanted to come and I almost felt like I had to entertain her or talk, but she just sat and held my hand and we would just watch tv or she would clean up a little for me. But what a blessing. So I just want to thank you for being there for your mom. And to let you know how much it means to her.
