November is National Family Caregivers Month. Let’s celebrate those who not only care for their loved ones, but those who care for others as well.
“The number of people 80 years or over is projected to triple to 426 million by 2050. In the US alone, there are currently over 50 million seniors eighty years or older. And when the time comes, women assume the role of caregiver. I hope to change that.“
At 55, I gave up my carefree bachelor life to become a first-time parent to a ninety-year-old, sharp-tongued, guilt-tripping, stubborn as all get out, and yet funny lady who could barely remember my name. My mother. It’s rare for a son to take on 24/7 caregiving, but I jumped in with gusto to fill Mom’s last years with love, laughter, and joy. Not always successful, but I came pretty damn close.
“A Cup of Tea on the Commode” chronicles my multi-tasking adventures. I hope to not only entertain, but to inspire others, especially men, to find the joy in caregiving. I did, and I’m a better man for it.
You’ll laugh out loud. You’ll cry out loud. Sorry for the crying part.
