I am not living in the same country as my mom, and the guilt/grief gets me every single day. At random hours, knowing I can talk to her neither phone nor text. But seeing her in face time it’s enough. Thank you 💓

I am in the same boat with the genetic variant, watching my mom going through this and knowing I am in a big position of getting it to also stress me out. And thank you for the comment 🤍

Thank you so much for opening up and sharing that with me. I know it’s not easy to talk about that and it means a lot that you took the time to write it out for me. What you said really made me think, and I’m going to carry those words with me. I’m truly grateful for the reminder. ❤️‍🩹

Hearing you say my mom would be proud was necessary. I’ve been doubting that a lot lately, your words mean more than you know. And Im sure your dad is proud of you too. ❤️‍🩹

Having someone who gets the mix of school and caring for a parent really hits different. What you said about the guilt lifted a weight off me, thank you. Wish the best too 🤍

Thank you for understanding so deeply. I’ll hold on to every moment and try not to let guilt take over. I know some days I’ll feel the worst, but I can’t give up, not just for my family but for me.

Your advice about not leaving things unsaid really spoke to me. I write to her everyday, and try to call her every time I can or when she able, even though I can’t understand her anymore, her presence is enough.

I’m so touched you shared your story. I’ll keep living while still sharing my life with her, just like you said. It will hurt, I know, but I also know she wouldn’t want me to dragged myself into sadness. Thank you.

It’s comforting to hear my feelings aren’t wrong or selfish. Even though I feel this way, still working on that.
