July Blogging Challenge Day 14

What's one thing that's happened to you that has made you a stronger person?

My mother getting sick with Cancer and having to take care of her for about 9 months before she had to go in a home. I had to be strong for her, there was no choice at all in my mind.

It was physically and mentally demanding. I would not be able to do it now, my body is in too bad a shape, and I could not handle the load I was putting on it back them.

But for almost 2 years I stuck with her and for more than a year I walked every day to the care home to see her, even if it was raining of snowing - I just went.

It left me with a hell of a lot more personal resolve I have to say. I am a stronger person in my own life now. I don't really have a choice however - I can't just get others to help me - it's not possible - so I need to handle it myself. Dealing with Mom like that helped build the strength I need now in life.
