The ones in need of care.

Maybe I'm better off. By trying to save myself. First. Rather than saving others. Because then I'm still around. To attempt to save others. To show empathy. And concern. And understanding. Only then do I qualify as a legitimate caregiver. If I can't care for myself, how am I do care for others? I know so many would-be caregivers. That are failures. Because they haven't adequately cared for themselves. They have fallen by the wayside. They are the ones in need of care. --Jim Broede
