Here she is -A CARE GIVER like no other. One of the reasons Dad’s mantra quickly became “WE GOT THIS” after his diagnosis was because of this women right here. He knew that he was NOT alone and he had the BEST CARE GIVER on the planet to help get him through this and he was right. Because their LOVE STORY started when they were both 13, yes that’s not a typo. Started dating at 13 and got married a day after my mom turned 18 and then they moved to the beach and the rest is history. They both started working right away and life happened and they never went to college. I truly believe that if she would have had the opportunity, she would have gone into the medical field. She’s always been a natural caretaker and raised a daughter who would grow up to become a nurse, not surprisingly. A true CARE GIVER at heart makes DAD the luckiest guy on the planet. He really does have the best CARE GIVER ever! She’s SMART, CARING, EMPATHETIC, NURTURER, COMPANION, BEST FRIEND, MOTHER, WIFE, LOVING- simply an ANGEL OF MERCY!
