Are mom's supposed to be sick

I remember as a child she used to tuck me in bed right before kissing me goodnight.
She told stories from far and wide, beautiful and sad, and funny enough I don't remember how they ended because I always fell asleep.

Whenever I had a bad dream she would as well be right there, as if she sensed it amidst her sleep.

She would be right there early morning to wake me up, dress me up and get me ready for school.

And when l got ill she would nurse me back to health, a quick fix she would say, and soon I am well.

But today mommy does not wake up, she still lays in bed. She say's she is cold but with sweat on her face.

Mum needs me to nurse back to health and I don't know what to do.

Do mom's get sick too?
Is this true?

I sit and wonder, are mom's supposed to be sick?
