Caregiving is intimate and vulnerable and humbling and an honor I am grateful but saddened to have experienced.

Caregivers, especially those in the space of a terminal disease, do they best they can under extraordinary conditions. We do this out of love, which can give you power you never imagined.
I wish I had just stopped more, taken a breath, and just spent time with my dad vs. trying to fight ALS daily.
As an ALS caregiver, I found myself in situations I never dreamed, doing things for my Mom that neither she nor I would have guessed would happen.
ALS sucks so bad, and no one will know until they go through it. I watched the love of my life waste away to skin and bones, feeling helpless, only being able to take care of him the as best that I could.
