It really was hard because I’m the oldest. I’ve always taken on a lot of responsibility, and I love it. I’m fine with it. I enjoy it but my siblings had to like really, to fend for themselves because I was in the hospital. My mom was with me. Well like my dad and like my sisters were like, they did everything, and I think that was very very hard for them – on top of just like the stress of having a loved one in the hospital.
