The Nuances of Elderly Care
Elderly care is a topic that resonates deeply with me, mainly because of my grandmother, Viola. A woman of immense grace and wit, she was the cornerstone of our family. Her vibrant spirit remained undiminished as she aged, but her physical capabilities began to wane. My family found ourselves navigating the complex and emotional journey of ensuring she received the care she needed, all the while honoring her independence and zest for life. This experience, both challenging and enriching, has led me to reflect on the broader aspects of elderly care, its implications, and how we can approach it with dignity, compassion, and respect.

On Marriage
No one really tells you about marriage. There's a lot of hype and fuss over the wedding, but the nitty-gritty? Nope. No one tells you that the first blush of romance and dates and getting to know one another, fades; usually after the first year. No one tells you that loving someone is a choice. One that is made day after day after day after day.
