Taking care of a sick parent is one of the toughest things ever and it’s especially difficult watching the parent gradually forget some of the beautiful memories they made with you.
Ex Big Brother Naija housemate, Uriel Oputa is doing it beautifully and we admire her bravery and courage.
She took to Instagram to write her sick mother a very touching message telling her how she will always be her leg when she can not walk and take her anywhere she wants to go.
In the touching letter, Uriel also reveals that her mother is living with Dementia – a broad category of brain diseases that cause a long-term and often gradual decrease in the ability to think and remember that is great enough to affect a person’s daily functioning.
She wrote:
Even though your sick and you most times you are confused and scared you always support me,You follow me to work interviews and shoots.
Even though you sometimes forget how to walk, I will always be your legs I will take you any where you want to go.. push you on your wheel chair fast or slow.
Even though you can’t remember how to cook, mummy no need I learnt from the best I’m all you need that’s the truth.
Even though you can’t dress or wash your self,mummy pls don’t worry every day is your spa day.. plus I love being your stylist.
Even though you forget how to pray Your Amen is enough you raised a prayerful daughter.
I love you sooooo much
Even though Dementia wants to take you from me.. just know I have memories to last a life time.
