    I don't think I do anything really special. My mum brought us up, we had everything we ever needed and as much as possible, whatever we wanted. We grew up knowing we were loved. It doesn't hurt me now to give something back to her now she needs it.

    You do so much that is special. Especially given your own health issues. Being a carer is a full time job and deserves as much, no, far more recognition than most other jobs. It's unselfish, unpaid, undervalued
    The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

    I completely understand. I do what I can for Mum - so much less than my other sisters, but what I can from here... It's also how I feel about caring for Marc for the past x years...
    You're amazing Jaq.
    Do a little of something that makes you happy every day!
