I took my mom to a hospital for an MRI test. For 20 minutes she had to endure being strapped in a tiny compartment and exposed to extremely deafening sound. I was a nervous wreck. My hands were cold, my neck was really tense and I could hear my heart beat. In contrast my mom was calm and collected. The first thing she asked me when she got out of it was "How did I do?" For a brief moment I forgot that she is 77 years old, had 2 coronary stents, and paralyzed neck down on her left side due to a stroke a couple years back. "You did excellent, Mom."
