I am a very young 56 yr old CareGiver who has taken care of many loved extended-family clients. I still keep in contact with many of my loved ones. I just recently moved back to Abilene from Dallas/Ft Worth area after being away for quite a few years. I am helping out my daughter by moving here but being back here helps me tremendously also. I still have old high school friends who live here and I already feel "at home" again, thanks to some of them welcoming me home so sweetly. Hugs are more important than people ever give them credit. I have always prided myself on being a "servant" type person. I am truly a Christian believer who attends the Church of Christ and I'm not closed minded at all. I believe we are all God's children and I respect all races. I married here in Abilene and moved here when I was 12 years old. My dad was in the Air Force and we ended up here. My youngest daughter is 12 right now and is attending my old Alma Mater, Mann Middle School. I have stayed close to all my Abilene immediate family and old friends as much as possible. I have 9 grandchildren and will miss seeing some of them as much as I used to but have a few here also which is great! And Dallas is only 2 hours away so not a problem. :) I know that life if short and I feel we all should do our part to care for each other. Our Elderly family members need more help and care than the rest of us is all. They've spent their younger years caring for us and we need to devote time and care to them in their last years, whether it's forgotten or not. I have a huge heart for the young, the elderly and critters of all kinds, except spiders and snakes. Not crazy about those! I hope this insight into myself helps anyone in their search for a very able, healthy, young at heart, caring and loving Caregiver, because that's ME. Melinda G Terry
