Okay
Funny Story Time
Last year there was this Gent who had a booth at the Gainesville Hamfest..
Signal 1 was the company.
Anyhow he did model police cars from across the nation.
Le Sigh!
I had to have that USAF Security Police, and a few others, and he had a car
with the colors of Wolf Point.  A Howling Wolf on the side of the car.
PRETTY!
And Kathy is a wolf fancier.  Don't ask what happened one night when she
stepped into my mobile home and saw the art...  Just don't....imagine, grab
your sides, and laugh.   She was ready to wrap my whole home up in ribbons and
drag it away.
I saw the Wolf Point car before she did, and bought it.
She saw it as money changed hands.
"May I hold it" she said.
Things went downhill from there.
It took me a good part of the hamfest to get it away from her.  She cuddled it
to her.
Now picture it, me trying to get it back, her cuddling the pretty.
Anyway, a little piece of advice for folks.
Caregiving is about love in so many ways, elsewise, why would any sane person
do it, except for love.
And a caregiver has got to love, have friends.
And there has got to be a time for a break, when a caregiver can share that
love.
In my humble opinion, there has to be time and a chance for a caregiver to get
involved, to experience the world.
In my humle opinion there has to be a way, and a time for the caregiver to
understand that once this horror passes, there is a "Tomorrow".
In my humble opinion and experience, and I know it is terribly hard, a cregiver
must find a way to, outside of the caregiving, stay at least peripherally
involved in the world.
