Fly me to the moon or at least let me
remember watching as the Apollo 11 astronauts
flew there. We received some great responses
from our question regarding where you were 40
years ago on July 20th, when humans first walked
upon the moon. (All of you young
whippersnappers, under the age of 45 or so, can
just sit this one out.)
Your responses
were like a snapshot of life in the late
sixties, from new brides, to recent college
graduates, to soldiers in Southeast Asia.
For the sake of full disclosure, I was 13 years
old and spent the day poolside at the Americana
hotel on Miami Beach. My family and I
along with seemingly all of the people on the
beach gathered around a small black and white
television set in one of the hotels cabanas to
watch the landing. With regards to the
rest of our Caregiver Media Group family, my
brother was of course with me at the beach,
Nancy our erstwhile editor was at camp in New
Jersey, our webguru, Heather was a first grader
in Jamaica and our administrator Bobbie, was in
New Hampshire working for a CB radio
manufacturer (“breaker, good buddy.”)
As

Thanks for our "input."

Volunteers in Medicine:
A Culture of Caring |
By Kristine Dwyer, Staff Writer
|
|
Dr. Randle of Mississippi spent his
career as a physician in internal
medicine until his retirement two
years ago. During this time, Randle
saw a growing need in his community
to support the medical care needs of
those who were uninsured due to
self-employment, low-wage jobs and
the high costs of medical insurance. ....Continued

Mother clipped my sisters down to size.
Dust whirled at the heels of small spirits
flighting,
So I stepped lightly after, reeling in my own
hurrahs,
before they’d call her scanner eyes my way.

To the outside world, Emme lived a
charmed life. She was a successful model, creative
director of her own clothing line, a television host,
lecturer, and mother of a beautiful baby girl. Only her
family and closest friends knew she was actually dealing
with a devastating situation that is all too familiar to
wives across the country: a husband who has depression

Carenotes |

How do I get our 86 year old
mother to get used to the
fact that we will have to
put her husband (our father)
in a nursing home, as it has
become too difficult to care
for him at home. She
thinks it is because we do
not care, but that is so far
from the truth. It IS
because we care why we are
doing it.
We (the
siblings) have thought long
and hard about this and have
had numerous discussions and
came to the conclusion that
this is the best thing to
do. Any suggestions
would be appreciated.
