I became a caregiver because am passionate about helping people especially those who are unable to help themselves to achieve their daily tasks.. I been a caregiver now for 11yrs and I usually been caring for adults (senior citizens) I enjoyed hearing their stories. There were a couple that I used to work for, they met in new York during their freshman year; they became friends but didn't date till during their senior prom night in high school. They got married and have only one daughter.. they we happily married for 76 years. Sadly, the husband passed away in 2016 and few months later the wife also passed.. they were my all time favorite couple...
