As years passes by the situations Worsened. ln 2017 after 7 good years of my mother depending on someone to solve almost all her problem my sister that is taking good care of her became sick herself, her sickness was so severe that she needs attention more than my mother when she came back from hospital unlike my mom she can talk eat bath but was so weak that she can't be of any help to my mom again. This is how i left my family in the city and stayed back in the village to help my mom and sister.if you have taken care of sick person before you will understand what it takes to care for a paralyzed stroke patient,if you have not let me help you. Yu must do this every day for him or her to live little longer, you will undress and dress her, bath her clean her buttocks when she toliet, wash her urine rapers and clothes ,cook and feed her, interact and make her laugh.all this and more i did for my mom for 3½years before she died on December 2020 ## my mom before and during her sick days

Personally it is the love i have for my mom i am her last born child and because my dad died when i was young , the love i i suppose share for both i gave her all so because of that love i don't want her to suffer any pain i will be able to alleviate ## Conclusion Perseverance can help one to do things that are very difficult and when it's motivated by love success is assured.
