Joy and Sorrow
As we approach the holidays, I find myself with mixed feelings. I’m excited about my recent engagement to a wonderful man, and I’m looking forward to spending time over the holidays with our children and grandchildren. However, I am saddened that my time with InvoTek is coming to a close. My upcoming marriage means that I will be relocating to NE Arkansas, necessitating my leaving InvoTek at the end of January. Joy and sorrow mixed together!
We all need help sometimes
As a wife and primary caregiver to my late husband George, I am all too aware of the physical, emotional and mental stressors involved. I was all too guilty of having the "I CAN DO IT MYSELF" attitude.
COMMUNITY
There is an old African proverb, to the effect, “it takes a village to raise a child.” Children are considered a blessing from God for the whole community. The same idea comes through in Ecclesiastes 4:10 "For if they fall, one will lift up the other…".

Some of us are born caregivers; some come to it out of happenstance. For some it is a learned skill. No matter how it comes about, it is a task not to be taken lightly. This is a story about just one!
Hope
When I married my husband George on March 3, 1995, I prayed that God would let me have him to love for 5 years. You may think that I didn't set my hopes very high. What you need to know is that George had been diagnosed with Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis 23 years earlier. The disease had progressed very quickly, robbing him of so much of what we take for granted. At the time of our marriage he was considered to be a full quadriplegic. His disease was considered to be "end stage".
