My cousin for years has raised a downs syndrome child, quit a high paying job to give the kid all the care she could, is she mother of the year, no just responsible,and doing what she was taught to do. Nancy reagan was touted as heroic, becausde her husband had alziemers, and she made great sacrifices staying with him and caring for his well being. My mom had the same thing, was i a hero, or just some dumb shmuck, who went int6o a financial hole bringing her to live with us, buying her and furnishing a safer habitat for her to be safe and secure.No it was something that I was brought up believing that we have responsibilitys to our loved ones. But it dopnt count because I guess I'm just a liberal.
