My friend cared for her parents in Their old age, just like they Had done for their own. It wasn't easy. While she worked during the day, Aides assisted them, but When she came home she was Tired, and her work Continued as she tended to her Folks ongoing needs. A lady often sent a meal over to Give her a break, A woman who could have used a Break herself, For her full time job was nursing her Severely disabled son. The mom's tender touch enabled him to Live twenty seven years beyond the Doctor's expectation. It's a truth I've observed. Those who suffer the most tend to Give the most of themselves, for They know the power and Encouragement of just One kind deed. |
