Why? Because I care, and am blessed to be able to. Here's how it happened: I became a caregiver first when grandma was diagnosed with cancer. Moved in with her for 3 months until she died. (We live in same town.) . That was 6 year's ago. Four years ago we moved my mother-in-law in with us. (She's 78 & was diagnosed in 2005 .) I continue to be the full time caregiver, with an aide who comes several times a week to help with bathing. Yes, I sometimes get pretty stressed, but I'm just thankful I am able to do this for them. I hope the time will never come that I'll have to resort to putting them in a nursing home. . If it was up them the parents would have gone to a nursing home long time ago. Praise the Lord, He has giving me strength to make a difference here!
