Thanks to you:
1. The health care system continues. There's only 1 million physicians. You're at least 55 million strong.
2. Your family member receives the care he or she needs. Without you, well, that's just an awful thought.
3. A friend has a loving shoulder to cry on. You are the best best friend.
4. Another family caregiver feels understood, appreciated, embraced. You are the best resource for another who cares for a family member or friend.
5. Beautiful artwork colors our world. You create beauty through your actions and words every day.
6. Co-workers and neighbors see what family means. You live your values.
7. A fellow family caregiver receives permission to laugh or to cry. Or perhaps both.
8. Another family caregiver can express all that feels too big and too scary to let out. When you share, you make room for others to release what weighs heavy.
9. Our businesses keep going. You show up for work, regardless of what's happening at home.
10. Health care professionals better understand what you and your caree need. You educate and advocate like the best combination of an attorney and a physician.
11. Your caree remains safe and supported.
Thank to you for all you do.
