The Road Ahead

Since my mom has been living with us I have seen so much improvement in her and I couldn’t be any more proud of her. This past week I’ve been seeing my mother on the internet filling out job applications and going to job interviews and doing everything we’ve been wanting to see her to do for the past 12 years.

 My mom has also took part one of the driver’s test to get her driver’s license renewed which she passed, now all she has to do is take the driver’s test. Also my mother is trying to get into school and start a real career. This isn’t going to be an easy task but she’ll get through it. But, overall my mom is heading in a very positive direction and I’m very happy to say that. Thank God.

I almost feel as though my mother has stopped letting the death of her first born child get in the way of living her life like she’s supposed to be living her life. I mean, I could only imagine how hard it must have been to even loose a child but to stop living your life is an even harder thing to do, especially when you have three other children that are relying on her parenting and her guidance through life. I know that losing her first born child will always and forever be on her mind no matter what and I don’t doubt that for a second.

I just feel my mother has just overcome one of the hardest things to do in one’s life and knows that her first child is in a better place.  By me seeing my mother just go through what she has been through and to see her excel in her life has been really inspirational to me because I now understand that’s not something you can do over night and that it takes time. There’s a long road ahead of my mother and more to achieve.
