Tonight at dinner we were chatting about our blog as I have been asked to write an article for a national publication on Care-Givers and Care-Giving in April (more to come on that exciting news). The Little One wanted me to share these words with you this evening…
“Thank you for reading ‘The Purple Jacket” I hope that in reading Chris’ account of my fight with esophagus cancer that you don’t give up hope, share in the joy and comfort that you can reap from this wonderful thing, a dedicated caregiver. My siblings have pass on; not only is he my caregiver, he is my partner I would be all alone with out his dedication and love. Even though cancer has struck me, for the second time, I find joy and compassion being with my partner and caregiver. Go through life with a strong will, even at those darkest times, there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Bernard Richard Schiffer 2.5.2012.
