Now I Understand
I’ve always known
my mother to
be smart, loving,
caring, and strong.
But when she
was diagnosed with
MS things started
to change. Some
for the better
and others for
the worse.
When I
was told the
news I was
naturally scared. I
didn’t have a
clue as to
what MS was, I just
knew it was
hurting her from
inside. My first
reaction was to
cry, but she was able
to calm me
down by telling
me everything would
be okay. As
her child I
believed her, and
all of a
sudden I knew
she would survive.
Now
since a few
years have passed
I realize I
should be grateful
for what I
have and not
take anything for
granted. My mother
is alive and
well and there is
nothing I would
want more in
the world. I am
proud of her
for being strong,
but most of all
for being so
courageous and keeping
her trust in
God. She will
always be my
role model and
hero.
This experience
helped me better
understand myself and
the world. About
myself I now
understand that as
long as I believe and
trust in God
everything will be
okay. About the world
I now know
that my family
is not immune
to the craziness
around us, but it
helps to
smile and have
a positive attitude.
In the end
everything will be
okay.
