Value of Walking

   "Life has a way of placing unexpected -- and sometimes deeply unwelcome -- challenges squarely in our path.  The key is learning how to breathe through the pain, accept the change and get stronger for what comes next." Samantha Rector
   
   

   The condition for which we are caregivers is undoubtedly one of those unexpected and, perhaps, unwelcome challenges that have come into our lives.  One of the most difficult aspects of caregiving for me is being responsible for the welfare of another person.  That responsibility weighs heavily for me, especially when the decisions that must be made are not ones he would prefer; but I have to remember -- they are not ones I prefer either.  When life presents us with only difficult options, we are doing our very best to still choose among those options.
