It is incredible to me how one blink-of-an-eye moment can drastically impact your life. When my family business went to foreclosure, I was the only one of my brothers and sisters who was single, and because of that I was the chosen one to take care of my elderly grandmother (96). She died at the age of 103, but it was the most wonderful seven years of my life so far. But looking back, I truly wish I would've been a little more prepared for the challenges of being a full-time caregiver. Even though, my grandmother made my duty easygoing. Didn't matter she was on wheelchair complaining al the time he couldn't walk and also experienced a lot of pain, she always was laughing and taking her life without burdens. She raised me when my mother died of Brest cancer. I was only five years old. Spending the last years of her life with her, I could find the real purpose of my life. Living with her I gave my life to Jesus, grew up as a unconditional giver, and learn to go through life with not so many luggages, weightless.
