“The great exchange: that’s what I call it. She took care of me and my children and my siblings and my mom and my aunt. And now we're able to take care of her. So, although it is not easy - it’s hard, it's frustrating, and at moments I want to give up and drop her at a nursing home - I would never do that because it's a blessing. I'm grateful to still have my grandmother here in my life. She means so much to me.”

“I’ve been thinking about how much more physically close I am to my dad now than I was before he got sick. Suddenly I am holding him all the time. I'm lifting him; I’m moving him around. Especially now that he cannot really talk, I’ll often get into the bed with him and hug him because it is a way for me to be with him.”
