“For 15 years I stayed and home and took care of my parents. We did not have help from GT Independence, and it was very difficult, especially financially. I worked part time jobs wherever available to help make ends meet. But it was a time I will never regret, for not only did I grow and mature, but I became responsible for someone other than myself. And my parents were able to stay in their home and receive care from someone who in turn cared about them. The last few years are especially treasured, as I was able to care for my mother in the final years of her life. She became a very close friend, a co-conspirator, and problem child all in one. Now that she’s gone, I sometimes reflect that I don’t just miss her, I miss us. And I’m acutely aware of what a blessing it was to have that time with her.
Because of GT I am blessed to help other people have that same experience. What more can you want from life?”
