Its just a matter of how one looks at things. Once you change perspective all the blessings of the world will appear and then will your heart sing again with joy. God bless. Nick.

I'm glad you found a way to change your perspective. It is usually best to look at what you do have instead of what you don't have. The only suggestion I have is to try not to start sentences with the word "And".

I enjoyed walking along as you thought through this situation, PUPA. You've already begun using this life experience as excellent material for FS postings. Suggestion: Remove the ' ' from true, care, and give. Other than that? Golden! Mary

Comment from Freeflyer
I can empathise with you. I raised a mildly intellectually handicapped girl who also suffers from aspergers and dysphraxia. I home schooled her and my whole life centred around her. When she left home I was relieved. At long last I could do something for myself. Five years after she left home she was back. Fresh out of an abusive relationship she moved home with two children in tow. One aged three and one aged 18 months. My husband and I actually got custody of the two children. That was two years ago and they are still here. I adore my grandchildren, don't get me wrong but once again my life is not my own. On Fanstory, I am actually writing the story of my daughter's relationship with ##!!**#. My daughter will need me for years as we have just discovered the little boy has Prada Willi. He is almost three and cannot walk because Prada effects muscles. My daughter will get custody back in a few months but will continue to live with us as she needs help.
One thing your story did for me was made me count my blessings. I must stop the moments of feeling sorry for myself and just love my family to bits. Thank you.

Comment from wierdgrace
I so agree with what you say, this is so true, and the characters of the words and improvements are so easy to follow, I just had all my teeth pulled out, well in the last year, and got my new teeth, they are more painful then the ones I had, and the pulling. but I will get use to it, have more things to worry about. Great writing as always, thank you for sharing.

Comment from adewpearl
Pupa, your story progresses most effectively and smoothly from the narrator feeling discontent, jealous and frustrated with the injustice of her situation to realizing how much more she has than the vast majority of people in this world.
I like the transitional/pivotal moment at the computer in the air-conditioned room that gives her pause and the opportunity to start counting those blessings. You make a point in a compelling way. Brooke

Comment from Nightwind1
This is a wonderful story that many can relate to my dear friend. I am also now the caregiver to my mother. My husband and I moved her in to live with us. It is very hard at times, especially with two small children at home and my health being so weak. But Thank God, I have been given the blessing of being able to care for the woman who spent her life caring for me. The day will come when we don't have them there to drive us crazy. Just image the sorrow you would have if you didn't have those precious memories to hold on to. Any time you feel down and think of all the things you are missing out on, just think about the smiles of your mother, the tender moments shared, even the arguments and realize what thos other people, ones their vacations, are missing out on. You are the one that God blessed. Vacations come and go then are gone forever. Time with our parents can never be replaced and will stay in our hearts for eternity.
