You're right, caregivers do need breaks. It's good for us to remember that. Even for those who aren't caring for a terminally ill loved one, we all need breaks. When the pressure on us is constant, we grow weak. Those breaks restore us to be what we need to be. <br /><br />Thanks for the important reminder that breaks are a GOOD, strengthening thing. I'm praying for you and Barb, Andrew.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4095822388315899381.post-4608825871150659042016-04-04T22:02:06.121-07:002016-04-04T22:02:06.121-07:00Carol, thank you so much!
