Mrs. Kate Adams Keller was a sophisticated, intelligent and widely-read lady. She was also a responsible and caring mother who was always there for her children,and did whatever was best for them.
She was an early source of comfort for the troubled Helen.Mrs.Keller nursed her like a loving mother, when Helen was suffering from an unknown disease.After Helen lost her sight and hearing, it was Helen's mother who made her understand about things around her.
Mrs.Keller was keen that Helen grew up like other children of her age.Thus, she encouraged her husband to go to Baltimore to consult an eye specialist,which marked the turning point in Helen's life.She could not bear her daughter crying and suffering physical and mental exhaustion because of her inability to communicate with others.This shows Mrs.Keller's interest in the well-being of her children.
