My name is Colleen, thank you all!

I have told my mom that it is hard for me to deal with. She tells me sometimes that she thinks I need to get over it, as a few other people have. I swear before this I was a strong individual and could handle most everything that life threw at me. My grandmother was sick with cancer and I took her to her doctors appointments. For some reason with my mom I just cant do it. i hate saying the word cant. my sisters get so mad at me and I feel badly that they have to pick up my slack but I am truly working on it.

I actually just got off the phone with my sister. My mom is better than last night. She hasnt vomited and her fever is down. She is just experiencing a headache. So hopefully she gets better throughout the day!
