I imagined what it was like for a mother to care for an ill child, knowing isolation prevented hospital visits. Growing up, I had been told bits and pieces by both my mother and grandmother about their struggles in a chaotic household, and how after several operations, my mother was able to walk again, but that first polio scare at age 4 paralyzed her from the neck down. My grandmother's Catholic faith and her reliance on a tight-knit family filled with Polish pride in Chicago helped her get through tough times. I was inspired to relate old fears with the present. Women empowering women is key.(less)

Read how courage despite obstacles helped me in the process. I’m grateful for Voyage Magazine’s profile, plus check out other sto
