My mom is amazing!

Can I just say how amazing my mom is! About 3 years ago I developed IBS, which has completely affected my life. I have struggled with it this whole time because there is not one thing that causes it or that helps it. It's an illness that doesn't have a cure basically, I just have to try and manage it. But thats even more difficult because there are not specific things that help or cause an IBS reaction and things that help one person don't help another, it's all individual; it's like a guessing game and I have to take life hour by hour and hope I feel well enough to function. Anyway my mom is amazing! I have been really sick this past week so she did more research and looked online to find another specialist in Utah that might be able to help me. She knows how much time and effort we have spent over the past 3 years researching and learning about IBS, how to help it, what hurts it, what tests can be done, what medication and teas help etc. After so many years doing this I get frustrated even looking things up anymore. So she spent her time looking up information and then assembled a "cheat sheet" as she calls it of all the information she found! She is amazing! I love my mom! I don't know what I would do without her! She means everything to me and I had to express how grateful I am for her! This may seem like a little thing but it means so much to me. It shows so much unselfishness and the kind of person she is to do something like this for someone else. She is always thinking about us, her kids, more than herself. She truly would do anything for us and this to me shows that! I'm so grateful for my mom!
