Job Description:

""There is no higher calling, no greater purpose than that of a caregiver. Somehow, we've come to believe that caregiving is just for some of us and not all of us.

The question is--- do we have the will to love, to do what it takes, to risk ourselves in caring, even when the burden is great? In times of happiness, in times of sadness - we are that caregiver. Whatever it Takes."
