Our influence

"Those who bring sunshine into the lives of others cannot keep it from themselves," James M. Barrie.

As dementia caregivers we have ample opportunity to bring sunshine into the life of the person for whom we provide care. Certainly there are difficult times, but the overall attitude we bring to this caregiving task will carry the day. I have heard people say of others, "I just feel better after being with her." That is what we can be for the person we provide care for, and that is what we can be for the world.
