I recently lost a loved one very close to me and it was hard but being able to take care of him gave me such gratitude. During the time that I was able to care for him, I realized that not very many people have someone to sit & talk with them or take them shopping or to doctors appointments. I like helping others and showing them that although they are not physically capable of driving or moving for very long, someone can help them do these things. The thing I enjoy is seeing the life in people that realize that they can still be mobile and that their life is not confined to 4 walls. As stated earlier, I was able to show my loved one that I was there whenever he needed and I feel it helped avoid depression leading up to his final days.
