This weekend was dancing recital. I have been taking Irish for three sessions. I performed last season but did not invite anyone including my husband. I realize just last nights I had one more childhood trauma to work through. The last piece of adults who are parental figures not being present. What I realized is because of fear of being let down again I was pushing my friends, my great nieces, granddaughter and husband away. Not even giving them a chance. So, this session asked all of them to come. I had fun.

This is a blessing from Monday. Enjoy. https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTAUPxJgJ/

This is the man who is 85 with dementia that I help care for. He has been up all night. His daughter is beside herself. He was wide awake all night. This happens more than most family realize. The body forgets night and day. Prayer that he rests tonight. And not sleep all day!

Let’s see how many you get right! 🏡 I help someone stay safely in their own home. 🏢 I provide around-the-clock support when more care is needed. 🕊️ I focus on comfort, dignity, and quality of life during a serious illness. Can you match them? A. Home Care B. Long-Term Care C. Hospice Care ⬇️ Answers ⬇️ 🏡 Home Care = Helping people remain independent at home with support for daily activities. 🏢 Long-Term Care = Ongoing care and supervision when living at home is no longer the safest option. 🕊️ Hospice Care = Comfort-focused care that supports both the individual and their family. ❤️ Bonus Question: Before joining Still Rising, did you know the difference between these three types of care? 👍 Yes, I did. 🤔 Kind of. 🙋 Not really. No judgment here! Many families don’t learn the differences until they’re facing a crisis. Our goal is to help you learn before you need it. Because knowledge reduces fear. And no one should have to walk these journeys alone.

My nephew graduated without his father being present. My brother, his dad, Dean Fluke passed 08/25.
