10 years ago today my mother had a stroke.
I can't believe it's been 10 years since then.
It feels shorter than that but sometimes feels longer as well, depends on how tough things get.
She seems happy to have me around her all the time.
Despite of all the difficulties she has to live with, she looks happy.
And I am proud of that.
It's hard to see her struggling with illness everyday.
But I feel lucky to be able to spend time with her everyday.

It seems tougher than you make it out to be. This made me think of how I would react in the same situation; most likely, much more selfishly and detached, letting my older siblings do all the work. Your mom is really fortunate to have such a loving daughter - or two, if your sister also takes care of her. No wonder she's able to stay happy!
Thank you for the sweet words.
It is tough indeed.But I have learned so many things from all this and I can't even imagine what kind of a person I might have been if I had never been in this situation.
In holiday seasons when I hear ALTs talking about their moms(or dads) coming visit them here in Japan and travelling together, I can't help but envy them.At the same time though, I am glad to know that they take the opportunity of doing something together while they can.
That truly is something to be proud of. You're a good daughter and that is something you can carry with you all the days of your life.
Thank you.
Coming from you it means a lot to me.
I took her to the hospital today.
On our way home, we saw some sakura.I was worried that she might not show any interests anymore in it but I was wrong.She was thrilled to see beautiful flowers.
I was happy.
