I began this journal to share my personal experiences as a caregiver. It is my hope and desire to develop a "community" with other caregivers to share advice, restore hope, and give encouragement. Please comment or submit a daily tip, your insight and thoughts are welcome...

I visited your blog today. I delighted to read you and Mike are considering starting a local support group. If I or my wife can attend one, we will so we can provide support. I've related your stories to two of our editors here and one at Ebony magazine. Lets hope your selfless act of love and compassion will inspire others.
May God continue to bless you, Muddear, Mike, Mariah and Mike Jr.
We'll be in touch.

Thank you David! I have always hoped that our story would provide encouragement to others. Most importanly letting them know that there are other caregivers that share their joys and sorrows...ups and downs.
I hope you visit often and comment regularly. I appreciate the feedback.
