When my mother-in-law suffered a stroke and lost her ability to speak, her children said, “We already lost her. This is just a body now.” But I refused to abandon her and cared for her every day for three years. Then one afternoon, she suddenly picked up a pen for the first time in years, wrote a single word on a napkin, and pushed it toward me: “Daughter.” I had to leave the room so she wouldn’t see me cry, because in that one word I realized she had never forgotten who loved her.
