I don't know what I would do without her, and I shudder to think. I do my best to let her know how much I appreciate her. As Joy Graham wrote hereabouts, although people might ask the carergiver how the PWP is, they often forget to ask how the caregiver is. So I take good care to let others know how I feel about her, in her presence. Jim 58/12 [log in to unmask]
