Caring For an Aging Parent

I took care of my mother until she passed on and now I have the privilege of helping my father which includes taking him to a lot of appointments. The things that I always keep with me in the car are Kleenex, baby wipes, a large bath towel, a small pillow, change of clothes for both of us, a couple bottles of water, and a daily diary appointment style book! I have found that these items have come in handy more times than I can count and are well worth the space in my car!

My parents were always of the mindset to be prepared and it rubbed off on me, I suppose. They always took such good care of us growing up, so for me it was a no-brainer to take care of them.

The experience has been a blessing and a walk on the path of learning to be humble and to always have patience. I have no regrets for walking down this road and never will!

So refreshing to read this. People would comment how 'nice' it was for me to add on an apartment for my mother and I would think, what else would I ever do? Had anything happened to me as a child and I needed extra care my parents would never have abandoned me.

It may have been difficult at times during the years I cared for her but when I look back, I thank God for that privilege.
