100 years young [View all]
My mother celebrated her 100th birthday yesterday. My daughter and I traveled from NC to NY for the celebration. I hadn’t been able to travel since 2020 due to Covid, then breast cancer shortly followed by a broken back. Over the next few days I realized how much care my sister-in-law provides. She calls her twice a day, makes her meals, does her laundry, takes her to all her appointments and spends all day Friday taking her to her hair appointment, then lunch, and a stop at the store. This enables my mother to live in her own house which is very important to her. This has opened my eyes to the amount of care and time and attention it takes to be a caregiver. I feel guilty that I can’t help out and any help you can give me regarding how I can contribute more I would appreciate it.
