I am excited to share the stories relating to the life of a caregiver.  As a mother of a son with a disability I wear the hat of caregiver to the disabled.  No doubt this is a challenge, but the stories and lessons learned will warm your heart.

As the daughter of a mom who was disabled as a teenager, I’ve worn a different caregiver hat.  When we moved her to a nursing home, the roles changed again.  There are several stories in this book about my beloved Mom.

As a Sunday School teacher caring for the children in my class, I have funny stories to share.

Many doctors and nurses have touched my life.  I’ve got stories to share about professional caregiving.

This book is a pocket sized on the go devotional with 30 heart warming stories.  I can’t wait for you to read it.  So I continue to write.
