At 65 years old, my husband and I decided to take a long car trip from our home in Michigan to Phoenix, Arizona. We had closed a business four months prior, so we had the time and inclination.

Caregivers' Creed Print E-mail

" Bless the beasts and the children
for in this world they have no voice;
they have no choice                                                                  

Light their way
when the darkness surrounds them
give them love
let it shine all around them

Bless the beasts and the children
give them shelter from a storm
keep them safe
keep them warm"
                                                                                  

 --The Carpenters, 1972                                                                                                   

After this Thanksgiving, my husband and I have no doubt that these lyrics

should indeed be the creed of every family caring for a loved one.

What better time to remind ourselves of the blessings of family and friends than as we prepare for this Thanksgiving holiday.                                                                                                              

What better time to tell a lonely neighbor: 

There is always a place for you at my table;
You never need to be invited”
“I’ll share every crust as long as I’m able,
And know you will be delighted
.”  Anne Campbell, ‘There is Always a Place for You”
