I wanted to take a brief moment to wish all mothers out there a Happy Mothers' Day and remind you that you shouldn't be too hard on yourselves when your pain (or other medical issues) cause you to make the tough choices. Our children love us because we do our best, not because we are perfect because NO ONE IS PERFECT, including parents in perfect health.
Take a moment to remember that you're doing your best and that is all that anyone, including yourself, can ask of you.
