I've known her as a friend for 36 years. Recently her husband died, her oldest son died, and she suffered a stroke that cost her the entire right side of her body. She hired a female housemate but found she couldn't trust the woman.

With my job in Arizona gone due to COVID, I moved to the Central Coast of California to care for her in her home. I do the cooking (gourmet Italian!), keep the house organized, and care for her dog, an 8 year old cockapoo bitch who has become my girlfriend.

The only things that drive me crazy are her clutter -- I'm a "neat" person -- and her willingness to believe everything the Mockingbird Media tells her. Attempting to red-pill her doesn't work.

The sad thing is that she's a pale shadow of the vibrant lady I met in 1985. But that's what happens when we get old.

She is fortunate to have you caring for her.

I made a yummy lasagna today and banana pudding.

That is an amazingly heart warming story.

Stories like that give me pause and give me hope for people.

The woman you’re caring for is your polar opposite politically.
Yet, your compassion and heart drive you to do the right thing.

It was beautiful to read. Thank you for posting it.
Really made my evening great.
Peace to you.

...as the old saying goes, "Despite the high cost of living, it's still popular."
