Congratulations! Mom

Congratulations to my mom, Ruth, who received an award Sunday for her decades of service as her church treasurer.   My mom is a very special person.  Strong, stable and smart.  She has always been there for me even though it was not easy raising someone with Bi-Polar disorder which I was diagnosed with at 17 years old...I am now almost 56. Then it was called manic-depressive disorder.   When I got into some legal trouble several years ago as a result of a manic episode, my Mom was there to help pick up the pieces and get the help I needed.  I look forward to seeing her in a few weeks.  Strong caring people are key in helping people with a mental illness.  It can be very frightening for the suffering party, and a calm steady hand means so much.
