I am a nuturer. It's what I do. I have four children of my own and I am pursuing a career in nursing while simultaneously running a daycare out of my home so I am also very good at multitasking. My various job locations is due to my marriage to a man in the Marine Corps, and while I did enjoy our adventures, it also hindered my career growth. Due to unforseen circumstances, I am venturing to Georgia on my own with my four children in tow and the only thing I am 100% sure of is that I KNOW how to take care of people. I spent time with my grandmother who had dementia. On one occasion, my mother was having a difficult time getting her to take her meds and my Grandma asked her, "Are you SURE this is all of them?" in a snippy way. My mom was growing frustrated with the way my Grandma was being stubborn about everything but I just laughed and said, 'Mom! She's just being a smartalleck!" My Grandma laughed and laughed. Later, my Aunt told me that was the first time she had laughed in a LONG time. It was then that I realized that just because someone has dementia, it doesn't mean they don't have a sense of humor or they're TRYING to be difficult. They just want to feel heard and acknowledged.
