At the age of 15 my grandmother became ill and my grandfather needed some help so he wouldn't have to take an early retirement. The loved she had shown when she was well it was nice to give back. Since 1985 I have taken care grandmother, grandfather, father, mother and two other love ones. I just think it's a joy to be able to give back in time of need. I love talking with my elders they have so much to tell and share. Sitting there watching the smile of appreciation from anyone you help is so rewarding. I always believe what you do for others someone will do the same for you.
