  • I am my parents dpoa and there is no way that they would have anything done if they hadnt made me this. I have to make almost all decisions for them. If they had who knows what would happen to them.

    I love to write poetry and crochet. I also like to write children stories.

    • Just had to mention my envy over your ability to crochet. I’ve always admired all forms of needlework. Much to my dismay my mother just got done sending me boxes of crocheted items. Some dating back 200 years that were brought over from Leon, France. As a lover of antiques I’m heartbroken this art form as slowly eroding away as free time is…[Read more]

    • Welcome, Amy! I learned how to crochet in the sixth grade (was part of Home Ec) and sold scarves door to door in my neighborhood when I was a kid. :-) Would love to see your work as well — there are icons above that let you post photos, videos, and links. Would love to read your poetry as well.

    OMG i had both mom and dad in ER yesterday. I was taking my dad because he was having bad kidney pain and then mom got real short of breath. So they both were in there for like 4 hours. They were able to come home but omg it was so hard to do both. I am sooooo tired.

    • Oh, Amy, you can’t get a break (unless it’s an ankle). Glad you’re all home and I hope you’ll able to stay put.

      Let us know how you’re doing…

    I am so tired of everything. I cant get help and i tried to talk to my advisor at college and she was telling me i am stupid and shouldnt try to go to school till i am out of the caregiving role. I am about to start crying again. What else can go wrong?

    • I’m so sorry, Amy. Hang on to your dream. It’s yours and you’re the one who can keep it.

    • My Dearest Tiredamy2007, What is wrong with the world today??? I can tell you that the problem is that people don’t support people like they used to! Some people are just out for themselves. You know what you can handle never give up on School. It takes a strong upright shoulder in Medical like we talked about before. Your advisor was in the…[Read more]
