A Thought for the Caregivers

I posted this some time ago, but we have some new caregivers on the board, and some of them are struggling, so I thought it might be a good time to reprise it:

You were there when we discovered we were ill, and you shared our shock and pain




You were with us in the hospital, worrying while we slept




You stood by us when our moods got dark




You were there with us when the treatment seemed worse than the disease




You cooked special meals




You cleaned the house




You brought comfort in the dark




You give meaning to the struggle




And you are there, holding our hand as the struggle ends




Yours is the hardest job, and it is not possible to thank you enough

    Thanks everyone
    I mean (meant) every word of it.

    If you ever hear from my wife (she is a bit phobic of the web), let her know that I love her.
