I'm afarid because my mother may lose her foot because of infection. She has already had operations for heart attacks and I fell she is getting closer to death. I know that many of you are strangers out there. And probably thing this is weird. I'm afaird of my parents dieding. Anyone else out there experiance this fear. If some of you are religious pray to God for my mother.
Cynthia,
I have lost both my parents; my mother, in 1992, to lung cancer; and my father, this past January, also to lung cancer. It is a hard thing, but please know that there are many, many people who support you in this forum and elsewhere. You have our prayers and best wishes.
It may seem weird to say this, but I think that a small part of the worry over losing our parents is that we simultaneously must acknowledge our own mortality. The fact that you have chosen to swim may seem to some not that big a deal, but I think this will help you in your own life, and reduce your own risk of heart disease and perhaps diabetes (is this the cause of your mother losing her foot?)
I just got back from a post swimming practice beerfest with my teammates, and perhaps am not making as much sense as I wish I could. I guess my only message here is that you are not alone in what you are facing, and that many, many people are going through similar things and you have the support and prayers of a whole community that know you mainly through your writing. Good luck to your mother; good luck to you as well. I know she is proud of her daughter.
