Illnesses

I have had many illnesses in my short years. Most of them acquired by my mother, as she was always helping the poor. She thought that she could help them all, but gave up after a few years. Nevertheless, she still made herself and her family ill many times. These illnesses were minor, but still kept me from being as active as I would have liked. That is part of the reason I still cannot write for long periods of time. I suppose it is an obstacle in my life, but I try not to remember that.
