If you are willing to do it, you are always going to find a way. I work, study full time ( super hard major for me!!), and manage entire household, and still find time to look after my mom. My younger sister helps me with taking care of our mom too .. but thats about it.. … mom cant even stand up without any help.. so we have to take her to bathroom… give her bath .. dress her and stuff. We always try to make our schedule in a way so one of us is always with her.
Lol, we cant even leave her alone for an hr.. because this teeny tiny woman thinks she gain some kind of super woman powers and tries to do all the “exciting” and thrilling stuff that shes not allowed to do in our presence. I been getting suggestions to send her to a nursing home.. but theres no way in hell I am gonna do that!!
I do not know what future holds for us. Tbh, I have so much on my plate.. I dont want me to be overwhelmed about thinking whats gonna happen once im married and stuff. For now, I just want to finish my bachelor, get a real job and study alongside for a masters degree, and sponsor somebody from back home to accompany my mom .. ad help me with coooking and stuff.
having said that, we did have to send our grand pa away as per doc’s recommendation. It was one of the most heart wrenching experience for me. last time I saw him, he was sitting in front of the entrance at lunch time waiting on us, and wouldnt eat his meal!! And when they served him lunch.. he kept on insisting me to eat first ( just coz im so awesome at skipping meals :D)

anyways .. it was bad itt was so depressing.. and I just pray to God that may He call us to Him before making us dependent on His creature ..

Mashallah, May Allah shower you with his bounties , mercy and make this and after life full of joy and happiness for you and your sister. Ameen.
