Power of Dedicated Minority

1. 

   "Almost always, the creative dedicated minority has made the world better."
   Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
   
   

   We, who are caregivers, are a minority, when we consider those of us who are caring for and taking responsibility for someone who is unable to care for themselves because of illness or disability.  One could also count anyone parenting, but for today let's just think of caregivers as someone taking care of a person who is ill or disabled.  Can we too make the world better?  I believe we can and do.  In treating our loved one with love, respect and dignity we make the world better.  In advocating that everyone else treats our loved one with respect and dignity, we make the world better.  It is a comfort to me that while I am caregiving I am also contributing to make the world a better place to live.  And so are you.
