I have been a caregiver for year's. It is one of the most rewarding jobs I have had along with working as a floral designer for a non profit org. Called flowers for life. I would take flowers 2 elderly in nursing homes that didn't have anyone that came 2 see them. My last caretaking job was for Martha and Red fisher. Martha had terminal cancer, and Red had Alzheimer's. I was with them for a year before Martha passed and Red moved out of state 2 live with his son. I still write him once a week. Hopefully its a good day that he remembers me!
