Specials thanks to Dr. Borgov. Dr. Ahmad, Dr. Safron Aly, Dr. Salman Aly and Doctor Rasi. Caregivers – Deborah Delgado, Suzanne and Steve Torres, uncle Danny Melchor, Sonny and Martha Melchor for the care and compassion they showed our loved one. Caregiving or Caregivers requires the ability to love selflessly, not expecting anything in return. Jesus said, “Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends” (John 15:13). Caregiving requires this kind of love. Mercy, compassion, and selfless love are not easy—in fact, humanly speaking, they are impossible to do with a completely righteous attitude. But God is faithful to provide strength, joy, and cheer if we ask Him. With His strength caregiving (and any other incredible feat of love) is more than possible.
Special Thanks to our Neighbors – Amber and Duane Hines, Paco and Michelle Aviles and family members Angela Reeves, Aunt Bea Ramirez and Uncle Steve Ramirez, Gina and Heath Holder, Mike and Wendy Reeves.
