My caregiver's job that I have described in this book, unlike my career, does not have written rules on what to do, doesn't follow normal protocols on negotiating with someone, or affords you a satisfactory written agreement. There are no "regular" work hours, no vacation or holiday time off and no promotions. It's a primer on love, devotion, selflessness and strength which most of us find within ourselves somehow, to carry on until the inevitable end. Sharing our struggle can only make us stronger.
It was 4:50 pm. I looked in the back seat of the cruiser from the window and saw Helene sitting there. I immediately rushed outside toward the police cruiser as he was helping her out of the back. I saw the tears streaming down her face. She looked afraid. The policeman got her to the side walk and I hugged her. " I went for a ride"' she said, "and got lost on NC55, I am sorry". She was only 1 1/2 miles from the house.
