Looking forward to Mother's Day?

Often, the treasures you really want can only be found by experiencing

in pain and painful events.

I have been a caregiver for eight years.

During this time, I have dealt with the lives of family members.

I've had to deal with family members who experienced

dementia and mental illness for a long time.

There were also long periods of time when I was

unable to come to terms with how I should accept the situation.

However, there were many things that I could only feel and

gain by having these experiences.

Now, I have come to believe that the past eight years

may have been an invaluable time for my family and me.

From now on, I intend to make the most of my experiences and

engage in a variety of activities.

I will continue to move forward, step by step, while feeling and

accepting the joys and pains more than anyone else because

I have a lot of sensitivity like my mother.

My dearest mother, I am so happy to be your daughter.

Thank you for having met me in this life.
