Please accept my sincere apologies. Over the past few weeks, I have been a little (ok, more than a little) remiss at sharing the incredible treasure trove of caregiving wisdom that has hit my inbox in response to recent newsletters.

One more note on the humor front. I recently heard a story that is floating around (true or not).Connie Francis was performing at a senior community and afterwards asked a resident, “Do you know who I am?” The lady looked up at Ms. Francis and responded, “No, Honey, but if you ask them at the front desk, I’m sure they will tell you.”
