Letter M ( A to Z of CF 2014)

M is for Mum! 

I asked Lorelei what she thought letter M stood for in relation to CF and she said after some consideration 'Mum'.

I have to agree I thought the same thing. I am a registered carer for Cadel but I am his mum first and foremost, as I am also Mum to Lorelei and Xavier. 

There are some days that I wish I was only a Mum and not a carer, having to do treatments or medications or medical procedures in my own home, like reinserting feeding tubes, but I also need to be a carer to make sure I continue being Cadel's Mum. 

I have to remind my self though that I am a Mum and I'm just doing whatever I can for my child like any other caring Mum would do. 

I am a Mum and I love being a Mum. Some of the last words my grandmother said to me was that she always knew I would be a great Mum and that it was who I was supposed to be. Those words always meant so much that she can see what I feel and that I had made her proud.
