She got up every single day. She helped him dress, made him breakfast, and walked him downstairs. She helped him through the chronic pain during the day, and she helped him through the chronic pain at night. She barely got any sleep because of his leg tremors and nightmares.
She had nobody to talk to. She wasn't a paid carer at work; she was a lone carer unpaid, who spent day and night caring for her disabled husband, alone.
She didn't care. She loved him, and she would do anything for him. That was all that mattered to her. love.

The little dickens
Hi honey. Hi Mom. Is this a good time? Perfect. I wanted to hear how things are going but knew you were busy. I am sorry I haven’t you called earlier. I’ve been crazy busy with the new pup. He is really clever. He knows how to train me. We are learning to talk to each other. It’s a lot of work but he is getting house trained quickly and learning to come, sit, go to bed, and he even has started to fetch. It will need months of repetition, but in spite of a few accidents, things are going well.
