I cannot remember
a time when my Mom was NOT sick.
She has always
been in and out of the hospital.
Since I was
the oldest I always felt responsible to
take care of
my sisters.
I had to be
the brave one for them...or so I thought.
I kept all
my fear for my Mom inside and I tried
not to let
it show.
My Mom told
me that it was NOT a good thing to
keep my fears
to myself.
She said I
should share them with someone.
And it DOES
help...
Most importantly
I learned to share my fears
with JESUS.
He is always with me, even when Mom
is at the hospital.
When my Mom
had to go into the hospital for
her amputation
I was so afraid!
"Would
she be bitter and angry when it was over?"
"Would
I be afraid to see her?"
"Could
she die?"
