I initially became a caregiver to assist my sister with her children. I am able to help other people feel better about themselves and have found as a bonus that I receive an overwhelming sense of accomplishment and a thank you or improvement in them actually doubles how I feel good inside. My mother had a severe operation on her neck because of all I had learned I was able to assist her with everything pre and post surgery. I could not have achieved more than being able to basically be my mother's private nurse and therapist , helping her to relearn her adls without her having to be embarrassed because I was family- I owe my mother everything for the woman I have become and I was able to repay a small part of that. I am a positive person and enjoy living my life like that. Real life can be a struggle or an adventure. I choose to accept the journey.I live in new York but am relocating to Florida this month.
