I cared for Grandpa post stroke for five years. Just me, I'm 5 foot two and 110 pounds and his 6 foot 5 285 pound frame was ... challenging... to say the least! I respect you, I absolutely WILL NOT file my loved one away in a nursing home. They took care of you when you were in need as a vulnerable infant- it's the circle of life. Keep up the honorable work. I understand it's impossible for anyone to understand a situation if they have not personally experienced it, and I'm here to talk if you ever need it.

I want to thank you for your thoughtful comment on my post. It was very encouraging because sometimes it's helpful to hear from others who can relate with what you're going through.
I would also like to commend you for how you took care of your grandfather even though the odds weren't stacked in your favor.
I'm a fairly large guy, but I can only imagine how difficult it must have been to take care of your grandfather with his being so much larger than you. I know God must have strengthened you in order to get through those challenging times.
Thanks again for stopping by and commenting. I just followed you and I would welcome you to stay in touch. I'm sure it would be nice to talk sometime so thank you again. Have a blessed day! :)@arbitarykitten
Even though it may have been difficult, no other option could even cross my mind. You are welcome, and thank you. And I'm here anytime :) Be blessed
I agree! And you're welcome! So on a bit of a lighter note....is Steemit your first experience at blogging?
In 2010 I acquired a blog I had been staff writer for. SurviveTheApocalypse.net. I posted a lot up until about a year ago when I ventured into other endeavors. I still own it, and have a couple regular writers, but I'm currently writing a game app and a new type of book. When I discovered steemit I lurked for a bit, but soon joined because it feels like a community :)
That's really interesting. Sounds like you have been involved in a lot of interesting endeavors and I'm sure you've gain some blogging experience, as a result
I think that Steemit is a wonderful platform for everyday people to get started blogging and being able to express their ideas, etc.
Lol, I like to say my life is a real live "reality show" without the paycheck ;)
Yes, I have only been here a couple days, but I must say I am impressed and happy :)
That is very interesting way of putting it. That's exactly what I have thought but never put it in those exact words.
I'm really glad you like Steemit. Enjoy hearing from you so feel free to stay in touch. Have a blessed evening, @arbitrarykitten
