Well Merry, at least you got your bathroom cleaned. You’re ahead of me, & you got a good laugh too. We steal the little moments now. A helpful comment I read from many people on my two caregiver sites is, Don’t beat yourself up about it.” I really appreciate that advice & am learning to take it to heart. We are doing a very difficult job for which we had little to no training & it won’t end until the men we love leave us forever. So I say, “Let’s cut ourselves some slack,” at least today, to be our own valentines!

Aww! Thank you so much. I've had lung cancer for 25 years and Davide has taken care of me. I owe him big time but I do what I do out of a very deep love for this man. And I'm very grateful to have the chance to take care of him when he desperately needs it.

With the bathroom all cleaned, more laughs and new friends I feel very welcome here. Thank you all so much for your warmth and understanding.
