Have You Ever ......
As an adult, had a profound realization about your own parents that made your childhood make sense?
Example -
my mom Now retired, reached a Highly respected level in her field.... flash forward 7 years and is diagnosed with cervical cancer and she thinks that being 5-10 min late to the last doctor appointment slot of the day is ok, they will let it slide, because she is highly respected
this goes on every weekday for a month straight during radiation treatments, they Finally call her on it,
flash forward 3 months, she starts chemo, it's
after effects Supposedly wreck her, 15/10 pain, which I believe at the start
chemo=poison, that tries to kill the cancer before either of them kill you
preface- I live on the same property as her.
For the last 2 months I have been checking up on her 4x per day, 7 day per week, to get food and take care of her groceries and meds.
then I think back to my Gen-X childhood
and cooking family meals at 8 or 10 years old
my 2 feet or 2 wheels taking me where I want to go, she only interacted with me, when she wanted to
now she's demanding I spend time with her on Her schedule
typing this has dragged on for hours, just going to leave this here, there might be a pt later
