Yes care givers, it can happen. On occassion. For an hour. Well, maybe 1/2 hour to be honest lol. Just kidding. When you're feeling like your on over load try to remember that a break is coming your way. It will and it will be unexpected. Now it may not be the entire but enough to give yourself & your mind a break. Sort of like a mental "cap nap". Thinking of you guys. I know how hard it is. Sometimes I don't know what to say, or say correctly, to those of yougoing through muchharder times than I. Just know I am thinking of you. Carolyn
