Taking care of a son

Tom McMahon has a nice, non sentimental post about taking care of his brain damaged son...

He ends up by saying:
Everybody wants to help Save The Earth, but nobody wants to help Mom do the dishes.

.....All of a sudden, don't you remember somebody you need to send a card to? Or make a phone call to? Or visit? You don't need to be brilliant, or wonderful, you just have to be there. You can do this. Off you go now!
