I took care of my father as a caregivers he's last 5 years of his life. Enjoyed helping get dress feed him and keeping him as comfortable as possible. What attracted me was the chance to make my father last years of his life to be as happy and comfortable as possible. I was able to take him to watch his favorite team the Yankees several times and also take him to see his great grand kids in High School sports. I was proud that even though he was handicap from a stroke I kept him safe from falling and breaking any bones and that his last years of his life he was happy and never let him get depress by always taking him out to events.
