and I came back home over 200 miles and then after the next work day I went back to be with her. This went on for over a week every single day. I have been there, I know but I had 2 children to support and if I lost my job while trying to hold on what then? At the very end of her life, I knew she was dying, I got a lady to come into the office and fill in for me and told my boss I had to leave. I had to find someone, no one did it for me. I visited my mother after I got off from work every single day. Now go talk to someone else who maybe has not been through something like this because I certainly have.
