The Daughter, The Patient, The Mother, and The Woman

I remember being about 12 years old, when my mom got suddenly ill with a case of dysentery, being the eldest daughter I was assigned the task of staying with her overnight at the clinic. I had never seen my mom that sick before, yet the urgency of her state eluded me. All I knew was that we would go to the clinic, she would get some medicine and we would come back home.

Thank you all who have commented and to those who will. I feel so touched by your responses:heartbeat. I want to write each and everyone of you, but I don't have the time. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! I've always loved to write, since I was little and allnurses.com has given me the first opportunity to publish a story really close to my heart. I am very thankful for that. I come from a country (Venezuela) were freedom of expression is slowly being disseminated and I fear that along with that people's ability to change and grow. So keep writing and expressing, I love reading your articles and comments too! :yeah:

:nurse: I say go for it! My sister did and she is older than I am. I am so proud of her. She has been an LPN for 4 years now and I will be starting classes soon. She was a stay at home mom to raise 5 kids, now they are all grown and out on their own and she went for her dream. I have a handicapped daughter that was at home with me and was taking care of her, she is now 30 years old. I now have a chance to go to school and I am going into the Nursing program,I realize now that it is never too late to go to school if that is what you want!:wink2:
