Just Wanted to Say Thanks

[ssuriano]

Thanks to the Florida and California podcast teams and everyone on the DIS boards! I recently started doing in home care for my grandfather, so three days a week I am his caregiver. Hes had his bladder removed to to cancer, and is getting weaker all the time. I'm happy to spend as much time as I do with him, but it can be a bit emotionally draining. Every night after he goes to bed I hop on my laptop and head straight for the DIS boards and if there is a new podcast I download it and listen. It's a fantastic way for me to relax and have a bit of me time. So thank you everyone for helping me stay positive and relax!

Being a caregiver can be emotionally and physically draining, so please remember to take care of yourself. Prayers and thoughts to help you through this difficult time.

I do agree with you, the Podcast always has the ability to lift my spirits no matter how down I am.

The greatest gift of love is caring for someone. This time in your life and your grandfather's life is a precious gift to both of you and will be a treasure you will have forever. Being a caregiver can so difficult. Here on the DIS you have a community that is filled with people who care and are thankful for what you are doing.

Good thoughts and pixie dust for strength and peace for both you, your grandfather and the rest of your family.

Carol
It's a great day to be alive!!!
