Congratulations 🎈 on 6 years! That’s incredible staying power! I know, from the comments I read, that you’re helping many. I don’t know how you do it all. It’s amazing!! 😻👏💛

Thank you for your kind comment and appreciation of my work, Judi. Sometimes I don't know either! 🤣 But it IS a passion project and when I receive feedback that I've helped someone in some way, it's hugely rewarding. Take care.

I seldom hear that I helped someone, but when I do, I hold it in my heart. Then I just assume people are getting help. How else would I do this?

Congratulations on 6 years! It's a wonderful way to share your wealth of knowledge and experience with everyone who needs it and provide a space for all of us to support each other. I appreciate your time and energy. Thank you!

This article feels like serendipity as today is the 5 year anniversary of my dad's passing. He died after many years of chemo, fighting colon cancer.

Sending love to all 💞

My heartfelt condolences for the loss of your Dad, and for everything he endured. I'm sorry. I'm glad I could be here with you on this anniversary date. It's not easy when these milestones arrive. Hugs.

Thanks for being here and sharing, Nance. xo

Congrats on 6 YEARS Victoria!!!!!! Thank YOU for bringing so many caregivers from all walks of life together and for being such a valuable resource to those of us who feel alone at times. You help us feel seen.

Aw thanks Chris! That means a lot to me. The more we can connect and talk with other caregivers the better, for us and social change.

Thanks, Mary! I think it's more like a crescendo of content and confidence. I cringe at the first year of content and the first two websites. Thanks for your kind words of support.
