FROM ARKANSAS
I am the wife of a Vietnam Veteran. My husband Charles is 70 Years old and had several surgeries back to back. He no longer can do heavy lifting or remember taking his meds or make his appointments as needed. I care for these needs as well as care for the pets, paying the bills and regular everyday tasks. I am also disabled so sometimes it's hard for me to do these things on a regular basis. We have no one around to help Us so it's my place to make sure all gets done. I Love my husband and wouldn't have it any other way. We both stay home 24/7/365 unless it's shopping day. I praise anyone that cares for an older person or even a younger special needs person. My heart goes out to all of you. This picture was taken on our Wedding day June 12,2010.
