The Son Of an Endometriosis Mum Luis Kounnis

I decided to write a book of how endometriosis impacts my life and always has. I have never known my mum to be well and pain free and it makes me very sad and worried to see her suffer most of the time. Endo ruins our time together and our plans to go out, she has to sleep alot too. I hate endometriosis, I wish it wasn't my mum that has it. I get scared when my mum has to go into hospital, which happens alot. I try to look after her and I do my best to help her when I can see she is in pain, my mum tries to hide it from me but I know when she is hurting. My mum always says that she knows me best, well I know her best too, her face squishes up or she walks funny. She doesn't deserve to be in pain every day, I wish I could make it stop. I want to be like my friends whose mum's are well. I do know that there are other children who have a mum or dad who aren't very well all of the time, I think those kids would feel sad and scared like I do, but it's okay to feel sad because it's our parents. My mum is my best friend and I love her so much. If I was ever given one wish, I would make my mum well again.
