My mother was very sick for many years. She lived with my sister. Two months before she passed we found out she had cancer again and she wouldn't have long. I do wish i had more time with her. We was never close. My sister was the golden child in her eyes, but that was ok, she cared for me too she just didn't show it as much. Cherish any time you can have with your parent. My father now is sick and we was never never close. He was very abusive but you know we have to forgive and try to understand so now i am helping take care of him.
