My mother suffers from Alzheimer's for the last five years. I am a caregiver because since as a child I feel very compassionate and caring for others. My personal achievement was taking care of my patient who suffered from Parkinson's and dementia for the last two years. Everyday she held my hand and would ask me "Am I seeing you tomorrow". Are we going for a walk and the store. It made me SAD and Happy that I am blessed to be able to bring a little joy in her life. Her spouse would say to me EVERYTHING is OK when you are here. He suffers from severe arthritis and both of them are happy and I am very grateful to be able to give of myself the best care. I give up my prior profession as a HR in medical and also in Financial industry. I went back to school to become an Home Health Aide and never look back.
