hey sandy! thank u for calling me today. It helped tremendously. As a mom I will tell you this- I raised ,ect my son and now he is a young man. I thght when I was bed bound and he was in 6th or 7th grade ...I thgt. I was no longer a good mom. In 9th grade he turned to me and said Thank You mommy. Yes he calls me that! and NO not in public. Anyway... He explained that even though I had Shy whatever, I was still a good mom. Now, he will be going to universities for the next 8 years I think:) That is what he tells us. Funny I don't think of the tuition costs, I think about his survival. However, I forgot for the past 5 years he has been helping care for me. I use to cry about it and get so frustrated, but I thgt shoot I better thankful cause alot kids go really weird during their teen years. Your Mom and Dad care for u cause ur their little girl in their eyes. U always will be, even though they know u are a grown woman. U letting them help u may bring them happiness that they are able to help you. They don't want u ill by any means. BUT I bet my life that you still bring them joy. When will it be their turn u ask. I don't know if u realize this, but u letting ur parents help u, u smiling at ur parents, u calling ur parents, u being a good person, u helping others with a call or typing, u taking care of urself when u can, all these acts show a parent a thank you from their child. Those acts tell a parent that u love them. We don't require payment when our child(ren) turn out go good. All they have to do is be nice to others and themselves, follow the rules:), and show they care. We want the child to be happy with their job take care of their family if they have one. Having a good child is the best present I could ever ask for. Yes, even over a cure. As for the commode...yes my husband and son have done that. It is ok. It is hard with the compression though. Try this--- it isn't all the time, so maybe that will make the thght alittle easier to handle??? Anyway thank again for calling me today. Ur a life saver Sandy. thanks nancy:) Michel Margosis wrote: > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Sandra Norris" <[log in to unmask]> > To: <[log in to unmask]> > Sent: Monday, December 04, 2000 1:15 AM > Subject: IN HONOR OF YOU! > > > Hello My plwp family, > > > > I had a visit from my mother today.
