Made me a bettter lover.

I keep saying it. Life is like living in a novel. One’s life unfolds. Chapter by chapter.  So very many nice chapters. Full of happiness. Some sad ones, too. But overall, it’s a good life.  La dolce vita. That’s what I tell my caregiver friends on the Alzheimer’s message boards. Goodness always comes. If one gives it time. I’m going through good phases. Which I deserve. After 13 years  as caregiver to my dear sweet  Jeanne. Fortunately, I learned to be a devoted and loving caregiver.  On-the-job. Care-giving became a pleasure.  Didn’t start out that way. It was scary for a while.  But now it’s evolved into one of the better chapters of life. Learned so much. About myself. Care-giving keeps paying dividends. I’m far better off for having gone through it. Made me a better lover. –Jim Broede
