Homegirl. Literally.

Current mood:blessed

I stayed home today and took care of my Mom. She's like a little flower that wilted but then got a good shot of vitamins and is now perking up. After chemo, she's always pretty tired. And she wants me to stick close by. I understand. I want to be here for her when she needs me. I feel a bit badly though that I just don't do everything else that I should. Oh well. Life is what it is.

Mom seems to be awake now. So that's pretty good. She wants to go with me "wherever you're going" (which happens to be to work...) I love her. She's so cute. I know a lot of people have commented on how *horrific* chemotherapy is. I suspect that my mom has such an amazing spirit, that she does it so gracefully. She's tired. She needs me to be near. But she really doesn't complain. And when she gets up she glows. She's just happy to see me. Happy to be with me and love me. And I feel the same way about her. ...So strangely...life is pretty good at home right now.
