Over the next 15 months, I learn caregiving is emotional and mental as well as physical. Whether full- or part-time, it is stressful, but attitude and a sense of humor make all the difference in how you get through it.We are all caregivers. Pop's story could be your story. Told with humor and honesty, it faces the difficulties of elder care head-on, but chooses to focus on the positive. Besides Pop, you'll meet the Old Lady Gang at Mayberry, and become acquainted with Bossy Barb, the elf Santa doesn't talk about. And as you journey out of the wreckage, you'll also get lost a lot--the Barb Way.By the way, if you click on the author's name, you'll be whisked away to my lovely storefront.
