Over the past seven years, I have watched my mother’s health both mentally and physically deteriorate for an unknown reason. We kept taking her to the hospital and the doctor’s could never figure out what was wrong with her. It seemed from the outside that she had given up on life. I on the other hand - never gave up on her. I always thought she would get better and turn around an be mom again. I didn’t give up till she breathed her last breath and her heart stopped beating - she was only 50. So I ask myself - will I always be resilient and never give up, or as I age will the world and pain of life within me slowly overtake me till I fade away? I guess I believe that I’ll give up when my heart gives out - either physically or mentally.
