I cared for a woman called Nana when I was 19. Nana was quite a character. She was partially deaf and had hypertension and was 94 years young. Nana was allowed 1 gin and tonic per night and I remember hearing her yell down from upstairs don't water it down because I'll know! She was so full of life. I miss her. I later came to care for my mother and mother in law also 2 wonderful women. Both had many serious health problems that taught me a lot about caring with a sense of humor when needed and a sense of respect and understanding always. I have helped friends care for children, animals, seniors and I have always loved learning about all of them and making them smile trying to brighten their day even when they seem past hope. Just think, be kind, understanding, loving and respectful. It all falls into place
