Life Expectancy: 65 Years

An avid collector of your hopes and worries, a romantic at heart.
She thanks her fairies, for blessing her with people who know compassion down to an art.
For accepting her for who she is, who never fails to turn up,
in times of need as well as happiness, or just there for a loving hug.

=(
have you ever watched serials that show how children can go to the extent of dumping their parents in a old folk's home and ignore about their presence until the end?
I feel like this right now - especially with the thought that my mum will be going to a chronic illness hospital. It's not a nursing home. But something like it..haiz. Meanwhile, when my mum is discharged(which i don't know when), she will be going to either Renci or Bright Vision, because that's the only 2 places she can go to.
There is this other option of hiring a maid to take care of my mum. However, with my mum's present condition and the level of care she needs, it's quite hard to put her at home. My dad needs to work and sometimes get called away overseas for rescue missions etc. I'll be studying and my grandma is too old to take care of her. It's not practical. Yet i feel bad because we want her to be home where she is more comfortable.
Haiz...i feel so unfilial. Then again, between keeping her at home or at a chronic illness hospital, it's really not much of a choice. But then again, for those judgmental people, i can hear you say, "if you really love your mum enough, you'll find a way."
yeah right, easier said than done. You have no idea how much work goes into taking care of a coma patient. It's not the work i'm afraid. I'm more afraid that i don't take care of my mum well enough and she gets infections left right center...firstly, it's not the best situation for my mum, secondly, i don't want it to be on anyone's conscience when it comes to that.
