I have started to finish the stories of my life, my memoirs, and I found this amongst some of the papers.
“My pen is poised. Remembering things I want to write down, or forget about. Stuff I want to think about, what made me the person I am today.
How did I change? Or Grow? And Learn?
Unlike talking, when I write I never know what the pen is going to say in advance, it just flows out.
My story is unique, as yours is, unlike any other”
I summed up my teen years this way, “Broken dreams yanked out of my life due to circumstances beyond my control. Whereas once I was encouraged to dream, I was suddenly thrust head first into life and I didn’t have a life preserver.”
Caregivers are thrown head first into life; in one second their life changes. They don’t have a life preserver either. But we can help. When we hear about someone in our community who has become a caregiver, lets not leave them alone and scared, lets help them.
Adopt a Caregiver and tell them Helene sent you.

Hi Helene – I love how you worded your life as a teen. It sounds like there’s a story there, waiting to be told. You definitely have a gift for words, and from reading some of your other pages, you have a love for others, too.
Dear Barbara,
Thank you for your kind words. I am in the process of restarting my memoirs.
I also care about caregivers, and want to support them by having everyone Adopt A Caregiver. It’s so easy to do.
Keep love and kisses in your life. Helene
