Without a doubt, I can say that compassion is what best defines my mother. She is always ethical and genuinely concerned for the welfare of others. She always encourages people that are in difficult situations. But the question is who encourages her when she 's in difficult situations? It 's just incredible how she manages to stand firm, even though she might be wanting to fall apart. In the day of December 19, 2014, everything went downhill. My little brother had caught the flu. My mother went ahead and bought some regular medicine for him. We thought everything was going to be alright since it was just the flu. We were greatly mistaken. My brother only seemed to be getting worse. We were a few days away from Christmas when this happened. We had so many plans so many expectations for the holidays. Unfortunately, things went south for us. We took my brother to the hospital to get him checked because his condition wasn’t improving. After an hour or two of sitting in the waiting room, the doctor came out and said that he was in a grave condition and needed to get transported immediately to San Antonio. At the time my mother 's expression showed sadness. My brother was to be transported by an emergency helicopter. One of my parents had to go with him. My father instantly stepped up and said he was going. My mother accepted and said to him that we would follow him in the car. My dad and brother departed from the …show more content…

Doctors began to tell us to prepare for the worse. My mother having heard those words before showed no worry. She was confident that everything would get resolved. On January 31, 2014, my brother passed away. He had fought with everything he had. Doctors were surprised that he lasted around forty days. His lungs had collapsed due to the high-pressure oxygen he was receiving through a machine. He needed that machine in order to stay alive, but unfortunately, it ended his life. My parents were crushed, they couldn’t believe what was happening. My mother did show sadness, but to be honest, she was calm throughout the whole process. Up to this day, she still remains calm. She seems so calm and joyful. When I ask her why wasn’t she going nuts like I am for my brother she replied: “Todo pasa por algo, yo lo puse en manos de Dios y si en su voluntad estaba que el se fuera, lo acepto”. At the time I couldn 't understand what that really meant, but now as I 've gotten closer to God and his word. I understand how everything in life has a reason. As the bible assures, “Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope. For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in

  • A Day With My Mother

    1128 Words  | 3 Pages

    I can distinctly recall spending many early mornings with my mother as a very young child. Endlessly engraved in my memory is aroma of coffee and sprinting down the stairs to my basement to collect my mothers’ uniform from the dryer. And then with a kiss laid upon my forehead, she would drop my siblings and I off at my grandparents’ home to begin her ten, sometimes twelve hour shifts as an ultrasound technologist. Then just as I can vividly recount my mother’s morning routine, I still can picture the evenings I spent with my mother to the same caliber. Simply put, my mother is a wonderful cook. And thus, each evening she would prepare a different meal. And while the meals always varied, her superior cooking skills never faltered. Despite her hectic work schedule, never once did I witness my mother skip cooking dinner for myself, my four elder brothers, or my father.

  • My Mother, My Hero

    804 Words  | 2 Pages

    In the book, One Day My Soul Just Opened Up, Iyanla Vanzant said, "a truly compassionate person is one who can feel what you feel because they are one with you in mind, body, and spirit, not out of obligation or a false sense of responsibility. A compassionate person is one who understands what you are going through and, rather than joining you in your suffering and fear, sees for you the blessing and the victory at the end. A compassionate person does not join in the victim mentality of blaming others; instead they will stand strong with you, supporting you through the acceptance of the situation. The compassionate person knows with you, for you, and when necessary in spite of you, that all things work together for your good." That quote is like a mirror image of my mother because she encompasses all those traits. She showed me the utmost compassion when I was in high school. I was very sick with a chronic disease. I couldn’t walk and I was in constant pain. Though I couldn’t see it at the time, my mother saw for me how lucky I was. She consistently pointed out that I was lucky that we could afford the doctors I needed. I was lucky that Fibromyalgia wasn’t deadly. And I was lucky that I had family and friends who were there for me. She saw for me the positive thi...

This condition was the death of my mother. Even today, when I talk about it, I burst into tears because I feel as though it was yesterday.

I felt I died with her. Many times I wished I had given up, but I knew it would break the promise we made years before she passed away. Therefore, I came back from the dead determined and more spirited than before.

  • Negative Essay: What Is Parental Sacrifice?

    1299 Words  | 3 Pages

    The sacrifices made by my mother are ones that I think about often. My mother married my father at age eighteen the summer she graduated high school. Having dreamed of being a doctor for her entire life, she enrolled in her local university with the intention to fulfill that dream. Two years later I was born and she continued to push to towards her goal, making incredible grades all while caring for a baby and husband. However, she decided when I was two that she would drop out of college to take care of me and eventually homeschool. The story doesn't just end there. Several years later she went back to school and earned a degree in Nutrition Science with a seven year old (me), a two year old, and one more on the way. She wrote her final essay in the delivery room of my youngest sister and graduated with a 4.0 GPA, in the top 5% of the country. All of the sacrifices she made and doors she closed led to new goals and opened doors she didn't know existed. Not every parent should drop out of school or make some other major sacrifice, but parent’s must often choose between social events, some designer handbag, or a much needed vacation and the needs of their child. The small sacrifices made by parents every day make a huge impact on the lives of their children. My mother is an example of positive parental sacrifice. Her sacrifices and successes
