  "There is no higher calling, no greater purpose than a caregiver. Somehow, we've come to believe that caregiving is just for some of us and not all. Yet, at our core, we are all made to love, connect, to extend ourselves in service to others. The question is--- do we have the will to love, do what it takes, and risk ourselves in caring, even when the burden is great?
