FROM NEW YORK

First off I would like to say that this is not a job nor an obligation it is something that I do purely out of love. I love my spouse although this had been tough to juggle a job, kids, medical issues, but this had been a long road but such an amazing journey. I started taking care of my spouse 2 years ago due to medical issues and it has been ongoing until now. I wouldn't want this any other way. Even though it can be stressful its always worth it. The ups and downs highs and lows I'd always stick by his side and being his caregiver is one of the best choices I've ever made.
