Why my mom is great (mother's day contest)

A few thoughts on why my mom is so great (for the Patch mother's day contest)

With a mentally disabled brother, over the years my mom has not only done everything for my sister and I but also her brother. After he had a heart attack in 1995, my mom moved him closer by so that she could handle more of his needs. She drives him regularly to Center City for various appointmens related to both his heart health as well as other health conditions he's developed. If it weren't for her he wouldn't have lived this long with all of the health problems he has.  On top of all that, my mom watches my young daughter once a week so that I can work part-time.  I'm very grateful for everything she does!
