What a Wonderful World

My mom has always been an optimist. She sees hope when others just see
rain. For as long as I can remember, each fall, when temperatures cooled and
the autumn rains rolled in over our pasture, she pointed out a symbol of that
hope. We would wait, and when the sun broke just the right way, it would
emerge. A rainbow! I cling to those now. Rainbows. Because they are harder
for her to point out.

Severe arthritis and a weak heart now make bending and reaching painful.
Cooking and laundry are impossible without help. My dad and I have tried
home care services and worked shifts ourselves, but dad is exhausted and
they’re becoming housebound. I think it’s time for a change.
If an older parent needs daily assistance, maybe they’re not independent
anymore. Consider Áegis Living for professional help.We offer the finest care,
