I think that you gave me a compliment. I have always wanted to be educated and work at being the best individual I could possibly be. My spouse has always encouraged me and made me feel like I was the best thing that happened to him. He is my love , my reason to get up and anything that comes up. I am retired and plan to stay that way. But this Caregiving has been the hardest thing I have ever encountered. I realize we all lose are battle called life. But.. as long as he is on this earth he will know I have his back. I have had three people in my family who have had Parkinsons. That does not make me an expert..but I know what it means to deal with this horrible disease! I enjoyed your comments and am always interested in learning anything new. Perfectionist is and will always be me. My father was in the military and I was the oldest of five. My Mom was a wonderful woman. If only I could talk or hug here again. I was given lots of responsibilities at a young age. I can see that it has helped me to deal with many things in my life and other's. I love my family and would do anything if needed to help. I am always a wife, protector and giver. Again thank you. 🫂 🤗

Good morning, sillyblone (@sillyblone)

Those were definitely compliments! I thought you did a beautiful job of describing the tough life of a caregiver. Few people understand how tough it is until they find themselves cast in the role of a caregiver.

Our situation here at home has been a back & forth situation: my partner had been my caregiver for over a year while fought my way back from a sepsis infection, and now, as she is dealing with some sort of as-yet-undiagnosed anemia (three transfusions so far), I find myself as playing the role of the caregiver.

You said it so movingly: "But as long as he is on this earth he will know I have his back." So true! When the person in need matters to us, we will do all we can!

I wish you and your husband the very best!
