I’m so honored to have my story in Chicken Soup for the Soul: Care for the Caregiver. From someone who’s been there, I know caring for someone with dementia can be overwhelming, but these stories provide comfort, practical advice, and comic relief because self-care isn’t selfish, it’s essential.
I was a regular caregiver for my parents as they aged. Thankfully they lived nearby and I saw them almost everyday.
My story is about caring for my stepdad after Mom passed away. Pops thought a meal was peanut butter smeared on saltine crackers and a handful of M&Ms.
My story details my experiences of having to make a difficult decision. M&Ms played a part in this story.

More Soup for you! Congrats on another publication. I would love to be entered in the drawing. I would also love some peanut butter and M&Ms, now that you've put them in my mind.

Thanks for your visit. You are in the drawing.
That was wonderful that you took care of your parents when they were aging. When my parents were sick, me and my siblings also took care of them, tending to all their needs with love and care. Funny about your stepdad liking peanut butter, crackers, and M&M's. Sounds like a good combination. I'm happy for you with having your story printed in Chicken Soup for the Soul. It will help many dealing with this terrible dementia. Have a splendid month of June!
Thank you so much!
Lin,
I would love to be in the drawing. And I'm happy for you. And a little jealous, too. You're a creative genius. Count me in!
