BOOKLUVR!
She has been caring for one parent or the other for TWENTY years now with patience, determination and grace. She lost her Mom to dementia a couple of years ago. Now her dad is slipping into the throes of dementia and she is determined to see it through.
Nice going, Book!
Just one of many caregivers mentioned!
Being appreciated over and over, the gift that just keeps on giving.
We are truly all in this together, and so you are!
And so are you!
For so many funny posts, mixed with the best of intelligent wisdom and kindness.
Don't know her very well, but caregiving and supporting her caregiver friends in the face of great personal and medical challenges.
She's over there on the 'What's for Dinner?" thread, giving caregivers ideas for great meals! Truly appreciated. She bakes cakes too!
Completed a 5 k in memory of B r o t h e r!!!
Yes, that is a yay moment!
It is a really great testimony to a person if after they have been away from AC for a long time that people still ask about him, and miss him! Good on ya, Captain.
You still get the caregiver of the day award, and if you had got drunk and stood up (however shaky) at the oscars 50% would have lauded your praises!
However, we are all guests here on the AC forum, subject to their rules and etiquette. We don't get to act out and have insane free speech! I take the blame for encouraging you and being welcoming to you. Now, go get some help for yourself and stop hurting my stressed-out caregiving friends.
Detaching with love, the award for the meanest old b@turd goes to the CAPTAIN!
Don't drink and dial...(or post on AC)!
Best Documentary in a Legal Drama: Igloo
Best Supporting Actress: Oregon Girl
Who else?
Best writing - adapted screenplay for a tragedy.
If I could, I would give OSCARS to each of my cyber-real caregiving friends!
And the CAREGIVER OF THE DAY IS . . . .
It is not a contest, and anyone can give a special recognition to someone they appreciate, everyday, on this thread or in between the whines is great too!
