You're right about Anne being a hero- it must be so hard to endure all of that stress day in and day out. I hope your grandpa is OK. Hugs, Michelle I’m glad you’re back home safe.

That must be so hard. I agree with you, I'm great with people who need extra attention for short periods of time, but all the time...I don't know if I could do that. It would definately be only by the grace of God! People think because I'm so great with people with needs that I should help out more often; I find it exhausting! Small children I can handle with very little problem, give me 4 or 5 and I'm fine; but one adult and I'm pooped after 30 minutes. I admire people who can care for adults day in and day out, especially more so when it's not a paying job! God Bless! Wow! That must be so hard.
