For me the worse thing about being 50 over is your parents are aging and you realize even more that parents don't live forever. You are face with reverse roles. You have to be the parent. My mother died of breast cancer two years ago and it was so hard to see her suffer. She was always such a strong lady who raise three children on her own. I remember trying to play the parent role and taking my mom to the doctor and holding her hand when the nurse had to stick her with a needle; just like she use to do for me when I was a child. My sister and I use to take turns taking care of her. I would drive to Virginia and pick her up at my sister house and I would take mom to her house so she could spend a few days their. I will always remember my mom as being strong and brave women. She is the person who taught me you are never to old to start some thing new.
