I never even considered what we would be going through these last 4 years because I didn't have the knowledge and understanding of it all. It has been hands on learning 101 for sure. I wanted to respond to Denise's question yesterday about how I have grown as a caregiver, and I couldn't put it together because first to grow...I (I)...had to die...then I began to grow and develop into the one who could give all her time and attention, emotions and strength to.

Blind faith is useful I find. Someone once said that God will never give you more than you can cope with. I really hope that is true.............accidental carerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13000246103604350653noreply@blogger.com
