My mother is a wonderful caregiver. I couldn't make it most days without her. My sister, too.

My life is stressful, but I know who is in control. Without a strong faith in God, I couldn't make it through this. I don't see how anybody could.

Doctors say it would be better to get the kidney and pancreas from the same person for my body to accept them.

My mother was the most beautiful woman I ever saw. All I am I owe to my mother. I attribute my success in life to the moral, intellectual and physical education I received from her.

A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials heavy and sudden fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity; when friends desert us; when trouble thickens around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts.

I have found the paradox, that if you love until it hurts, there can be no more hurt, only more love.
