Please don’t put yourself down like that by saying “ like I’m some kind of Saint”, I recently lost my father and I looked after him and although he wasn’t very unwell but had mobility issues. It was my privilege. However there are a lot of people out there that don’t have any relationship with their parents or will even look after them if they’re unwell. I think it is a beautiful thing that you looked after your mum and it is very taxing, emotionally and physically. No one is accusing you of being a saint, but being a wonderful daughter you’re definitely guilty as charged. Sometimes it’s okay to take a compliment. It was my privilege and honour to look after my father after he had looked after me for so long.
Thank you so much for that. You don't know what that means. I'm so sorry about your dad. I'm so glad you both had each other. I have two older brothers and you're right there are people out there who wouldn't look after their parents because I have one and the other was very much not wanting to admit to the seriousness of the situation and so hasn't talked to me since. He prefers to live in a bubble. He at least calls them once a week and visits them every couple of weeks. I've scaled back to calling only once a day. It was getting tiring and I couldn't even remember to do things for myself like ordering my own meds or making an appointment.
Thank you so much for sharing your sketchbook with us. I love your art style. It is fun and has a charming illustrative quality to it.
Aww thank you so much!
