Commonly known as Caregiving, millions of people provide care for friends or family members who live with health conditions. This increasingly important role has become a reality for more people than ever before. Especially, for Adult Children of sick or disabled elderly parents! Caregiving for a senior parent can be stressful and fulfilling at the same time. It's something that should be taken seriously, provided with love, given with dignity, and presented with gratitude. However, there is also a lighter side. In this entertaining book, Michael Willard, highlights the trials and tribulations of providing care for senior parents. Simultaneously, he focuses on the lighter and humorous side. Because his parents suffered serious medical problems, Mr. Willard was intensely aware he would acquire some form of caregiving role. But long before his parents were plagued with medical problems, they taught him a profound and loving insight- I wiped your ass and someday you'll have to wipe mine. As you read these heartfelt stories, be prepared to • Learn about caregiving, • Laugh at the antics Seniors undertake, and • Cry when loss inevitably occurs. Welcome to the world of Life with Mike.

Great Read!! This book is a great read! It was interesting, sad, funny, loving, and true! If came from the author's heart and it shows! I learned, I laughed hysterically, and I cried. I thoroughly enjoyed this book! The author took serious situations, about caring for elderly parents suffering from illness and made it, not only real, but light hearted as well. I am grateful that the author shared his journey with us. I recommend this book and hope you enjoy it as much as I did. C.H. Read more
