Dear Abigail,
Thank you for your support. There are days when I just don’t know where to turn. You’re right–I feel completely helpless, and some days hopeless. I know this disease will take my mom, I just don’t know when and how. As long as she is willing, I will help her in whatever way possible, one day at a time.
Some have told me ‘this happens for a reason’, or ‘there is a purpose to this’. I don’t believe either right now. I will try hard to hold on to my faith as I know it, because the God I pray to doesn’t give this or do this to anyone as a test. He does help us through it, though.
My thoughts are with you and your mom. May you have many wonderful days together. Cyndy
