Review:

If you have ever had to take care of a loved one, you will know how hard it is, but also how self-rewarding it can be.

Before my own dad died, he needed care, and a home was not going to happen. That's where I came in as well as his girlfriend. She went and woke him up each morning and made sure he had breakfast and his medicine, then she went to work. I would go there in the late morning, visit, then make his lunch. Also making sure he took his insulin. Then I would engage him in more conversation and at times on his good days, get him to go for a small walk. Then I would go home and make supper for my family, and shortly after his girlfriend would arrive after work and they had supper together and get more insulin. She would stay until bedtime, or stay on weekends, or even take him to her house for the night. This became routine, and I was good with it. As I said, sometimes it was tough, like when dad had a bad day, but the rewarding part was the time I got to spend with him. The talks. I learned a lot in those talks in that time.

This book was filled with stories like mine, and while reading I really did connect with each one, even if the situation was different. It's the "care" that is universal.

Truly inspiring to know how many people would go that extra mile for the ones they love.

Still, it was kind of cool to reminice about two cartoons from my childhood. So many great actors bring the film to life! What a fun story it was too! Although
