This is not a brag
Caregiving carries with it a grand responsibility. Rather than make us grandiose, it humbles us.
One of my caregiver friends is as thrilled by the purple umbrella she gifted herself as a diva is by pearls, champagne and fancy chocolates. No diva, but a queen of caring.
My own experience has made me stronger but more pliable. I have become kinder and I judge less.
It’s not easy exercising patience now that Burt is no longer the prime customer for this precious personal mineral.
But I do. I choose the smooth ride of patience over a hot flash of anger. Most of the time. Burt has left me with this gift.
This is a good and great gift!
