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 has been great! He has been helping care for our adult son who is on the spectrum and very difficult to work with. He has been amazing at pushing him to do things while remaining empathetic. He communicates well and is very caring.
