I'm a former University of Wyoming football player, a father, and at 52, someone who has always enjoyed older generations. I love their stories, humor, and sometimes just sitting together watching a game. I'm especially drawn to companion and overnight care. To me, it's not about simply "watching" someone. It's about being a reliable companion and trusted friend, sharing dinner, conversation, church, a ballgame or a few laughs, and rolling up my sleeves when the tougher parts of aging show up. As the youngest of eight siblings, I've had a front-row seat to aging and its impact on a family. Maybe that's why it doesn't scare me. I don't see a diagnosis or list of limitations. I see the life that came before it and the stories still worth telling. My mom always said, "He who can tell the most stories wins." I think she was onto something.
Victor is amazing! He's taking care of my 25-year-old nephew so not exactly a senior citizen but disabled and very neurodivergent. Probably similar to taking care of an Alzheimer's patient. Victor is beyond patient & loving, but also lovingly firm when he needs to be. He's cooking, cleaning, comforting, helping w physical therapy, showering. He's running over on his own time to check on things. We're so lucky we found him! If anyone can help my nephew recover it'll be him. He's also very strong.
